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.

PRAISE FOR COLLISION OF LIES:
PRAISE FOR COLLISION OF LIES:
"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 Review
"I have a new favorite author. Tom Threadgill kept me reading for hours. I didn't want to put this book down . . . couldn't put it down. I absolutely adore Amara Alvarez and her relationships with her coworkers, friends, and her iguana! Now I want one. She was a heroine who made me laugh and one I could really relate to. I can think of a few words to describe this book: amazing, incredible, intriguing, mesmerizing, unputdownable. . . I could go on, but I need to stop so I can go buy up the entire backlist of my new favorite author." -- Lynette Eason, award-winning, bestselling author of the Blue Justice Series

- How long have you been writing?
I started writing seven or eight years ago. I kind of stumbled into it, but once I got going, I was hooked. Devising characters, settings, and plots is the most creative work I’ve ever done.
- What kinds of writing do you do?
My stories fall into the suspense/thriller category, though I suppose there’s a tinge of mystery in them as well.
- How does your book relate to your faith?
I am a Christian writer, but my books aren’t necessarily what I’d call Christian fiction. My faith dictates how I write, but my novels don’t include a heavy dose of religion. I’m writing to entertain, not convert, and trying to be true to what I believe. The stories have no profanity or graphic sex but may have a bit of violence now and then.
- How do you decide if your main character will be male or female?
The first series I wrote has a man as the protagonist. I felt more comfortable with that but always knew the next books would have a female lead. I find that writing a strong female character is far more interesting.
- What projects are you working on at the present?
I’m currently working on the sequel to Collision of Lies. That novel will be released by Baker Publishing in the spring of 2021. After that, I’ve got several ideas I’m considering, including another sequel to Collision of Lies or perhaps more in my Jeremy Winter series of books.
- What does your perfect writing spot look like? Is that what your ACTUAL writing spot looks like?
My perfect writing spot would be in a Montana home with big windows overlooking the Rockies. My actual writing spot is currently a temporary desk shoved in a corner of a room. We just relocated to Texas, so things are quite a mess at the moment.
- What is your favorite quote?
“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.” – Tom Clancy
