Beyond the Higher Ground by Thomas A. BriggerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is one of those books that just makes you go - hmm. Mason is called to head up the construction of a prison in the mountains of Virginia and rents a house not too far from the location. He gets caught up in the history of the locals once things start happening to him on and off the property that he has rented. It has been determined by the DEA that the prison construction site is being used to filter drugs. So with that being found out and the things happening to him, Mason does a lot of digging, spying, befriending, and sticking his nose into things, but does he really want to know the answers to what he is looking for?
It is a pretty powerful story, although sometimes confusing as it flips back and forth between the past and present, or character to character pretty quickly. Also, the writing gets lost on me sometimes because it seems the author tried to use these big powerful words in each sentence, which was not necessary. With that said, the delivery could have been better but the story, although disturbing, was great. This was not a fluffy quick read, this was one that makes you think and realize that there is an issue out there, and all it takes is one person to care and to help make a change.
