“Threadgill plunges a detective from the San Antonio Property Crimes Division into a deep-laid plot involving murder, kidnapping, and myriad other crimes above her pay grade.”–Kirkus Reviews
Three years ago, a collision between a fast-moving freight train and a school bus full of kids led to devastation and grief on an unimaginable scale. But a fresh clue leads San Antonio police detective Amara Alvarez to the unlikely conclusion that one of the children may still be alive. If she’s correct, everything law enforcement believes about the accident is a lie.
With time running out, Amara must convince others–and herself–that despite all evidence to the contrary, the boy lives. And she will do everything in her power to bring him home.
A fresh voice in suspense, Tom Threadgill will have you questioning everything as you fly through the pages of this enthralling story.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: A Collision of Lies
Book Author: Tom Threadgill
What do you like about this book:
"'Help me, Mom'. That's all it said."
Three words. From the woman's dead son. Even a property crimes detective couldn't completely ignore the feeling that there was more to the message than a simple coincidence. But what? And why?
Assuring the frantic parents that she would have "one of our tech guys take a look" at the phone, detective Amara Alvarez tried to put the bizarre incident out of her mind. End of story, except that it wasn't. And the story that followed would take Amara and many of her co-workers deep into a world that they never knew existed. . . . all because of a tragic train wreck in Cotulla, Texas that killed seventeen children on a school bus.
This book is a journey, drawing its readers and characters onto a path that is both curious and intelligent; all while knowing that there is a last page, but definitely not knowing what will be written there.
I received this book from Baker Publishing through Interviews and Reviews.
