Trigger Point

The Fourth of July in Maple Springs is supposed to be a day of parades, fireworks, and family fun. For Jack Mercer, a combat veteran haunted by war and struggling to find his place back home, it’s just another reminder of what he’s lost. But when he notices strange movements in the crowd—too careful, too coordinated—his instincts flare to life.

No one believes him. Not the town officials. Not even his closest friend, the sheriff. To them, Jack is a man with too many scars, seeing threats in shadows. But as the sun sets and the streets fill with thousands of unsuspecting families, Jack discovers the horrifying truth: a group of extremists has chosen this night, this town, to strike.

Armed to the teeth and driven by hatred, the attackers are ready to turn a celebration of freedom into a massacre designed to rip the country apart. With no time, no backup, and no one willing to listen, Jack becomes the only line of defense between his town and chaos.

Caught in a desperate fight through carnival rides, crowded streets, and the dark edges of his own past, Jack must summon every ounce of training and courage he has left.

Because if he fails, the first firework won’t be the only explosion lighting the night sky.

Trigger Point is a heart-pounding thriller about vigilance, sacrifice, and redemption—where one broken man discovers that some battles are worth fighting, no matter the cost.
