The Shutdown List

The Shutdown ListIn Sharon Dukett’s new thriller, The Shutdown List, she opens our eyes to the importance of climate change on our nation’s, and the world’s, future. What’s most impressive is that Dukett simply tells the story rather than preaching and then lets us form our own opinions. 

In this suspenseful tale, Anita Forester hunts for her husband who vanished during a climate protest. Up against forces known and unknown and with little information to go on, Anita searches the globe. With her life and the lives of those she cares about, in mortal danger, determined and resourceful Anita stays laser-focused on her mission despite roadblocks and unexpected revelations about those she once trusted. 

That Dukett chose this critical and controversial topic to demonstrate her writing chops will not surprise anyone who has read No Rules. In that memoir, Dukett shares her personal coming-of-age story in the 1970s when she embraced the cultural movement of that time: feminism.

Whether you’re in the mood for a memoir or a thriller, Sharon Dukett is an author who should be on your LIST!
