I thought it might be fun to see how many people comment, so I have two questions for you! If you read the book: What colour of hair does the sultry jazz singer have? If not: What thriller author is this line an homage to? “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.”
Comment below and we’ll see how many get the answers right!

About the Book
The best-kept secrets in 2041 America are the deadliest ones.
A mysterious scarlet haired jazz singer.
A rebel on a motorcycle.
And a killer with a penchant for torture.
Food is scarce, good jobs the rarity, and big brother is watching everyone. Will Jack and Tom’s family be torn apart in the mayhem, and how far will one brother go to save the other’s life?
In 2041, America is rife with ghettos and armed checkpoints, and poverty runs rampant. A bloody civil war is brewing, and everyone will be forced to take a side. Education is the only way out of a life where you’re never sure where your next meal will come from, or what you’ll have to do to get it. Tom aced his assessment tests and scored an education contract, giving him a way out of poverty. Jack isn’t so lucky.
When Jack, a spy for a rebel fraction, goes missing, only his brother Tom can unravel the mystery of his disappearance. He will risk everything to save his brother from Warren, a killer who enjoys torturing his victims and making them beg for mercy. On a mission, Tom plunges into a world filled with secretive rebel groups and spies, psychotic killers, lies and murder at the highest levels of political influence. When he also discovers that his family has been keeping secrets from him—secrets that threaten to doom them all—he doesn’t know whom to trust.
Tom must break every rule he’s lived by, and go head-to-head with a psychopath, if he’s to have any chance of saving his brother—and just maybe, keep America from reaching the fracture point.

Q2 I have to say Lee Child?
I love dystopians set in the near future! They are very hard to write! I’s easier to imagine a world hundreds of years from now than just a few decades. Kuddos to Jeff
So do I! And I agree, it’s more difficult to write one that’s closer to real time, not way in the future. It sure makes it interesting too! You often recognize places.
Q2: THE SHINING!
