First Line Friday

First Line Friday | Week 179 | Aftermath by Terri Blackstock

It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Aftermath by Terri Blackstock, an excellent Christian suspense author. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

Taylor Reid’s phone flashed as she snapped the selfie with her two friends, their heads touching and their backs to the stage.

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

About Aftermath

A devastating explosion.

Three best friends are at the venue just to hear their favorite band . . . but only one of them makes it out alive.

A trunk full of planted evidence.

When police stop Dustin with a warrant to search his trunk, he knows it’s just a mistake. He’s former military and owns a security firm. But he’s horrified when they find explosives, and he can’t fathom how they got there.

An attorney who will risk it all for a friend.

Criminal attorney Jamie Powell was Dustin’s best friend growing up. They haven’t spoken since he left for basic training, but she’s the first one he thinks of when he’s arrested. Jamie knows she’s putting her career on the line by defending an accused terrorist, but she’d never abandon him. Someone is framing Dustin to take the fall for shocking acts of violence . . . but why?
