Desperate to get her life back on track, Brianna Haggarty has come home to Nower County to do one thing: make amends by building her grandmother a chicken coop to replace the one she burned down as a pot-smoking teenager. But when she arrives, her grandmother is gone. There’s absolutely nothing in her house — no furniture, not so much as a gum wrapper. The rest of the county’s residents have vanished, too.
Dawson McCade is running for his life, hunted by assassins who would do anything to keep him from testifying. If he can just make it to the safe house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky … But when he gets there, nobody’s home. They’ve vanished, along with everyone else.
Cade forms an alliance with Brianna. He’ll help build her chicken house, she’ll keep him safe. And they'll both try to figure out what malevolent force could possibly snatch a whole county of people off the face of the earth.
Then the killers show up.
Can they survive attacks by trained assassins and find the vanished loved ones they've lost?
★★★★★ "I found this book captivating. I fell in love with the two main characters – Brianna Haggarty and Dawson McCade. They form a strange alliance as they both face demons from the past. I want to know more about these two young people and hope that Hammon brings them back in a sequel to this story. I hope it’s not just wishful thinking." -- Bonsterblack
★★★★★ "I’m really glad I found this author. Since reading Road to Nowhere I’ve picked up the rest of the series and The Last Safe Place, also great! This story was part Twilight Zone, part Stephen King (but less ghoulish). I can just hear Rod Serling narrating. A real page turner." -- Sherie
★★★★★ "Ninie has done it again!!! I fell in love with the characters Cade and Brianna from the first chapter. It just gets better and better as you read page after page as well as heart pounding things happening. It was so hard to put down. I absolutely hated the story to end. This is a book you don’t want to miss!! Write on Ninie can’t wait for your next book. Don’t make us wait to long." -- Cora A Myers
★★★★★ "I love Ninie Hammons characters. They become like friends and family. She has such a way with dialogue. I find myself laughing out loud." -- Lollipop
Fans of Justified, Under The Dome, and LOST will love settling down to spend some time in Nowhere USA.
Ninie Hammon (rhymes with shiny, not skinny) grew up in Muleshoe, Texas, got a BA in English and theatre from Texas Tech University and snagged a job as a newspaper reporter. She didn't know a thing about journalism, but her editor said if she could write he could teach her the rest of it and if she couldn't write the rest of it didn't matter. She hung in there for a 25-year career as a journalist. As soon as she figured out that making up the facts was a whole lot more fun than reporting them, she turned to fiction and never looked back.
Ninie now writes suspense--every flavor except pistachio: psychological suspense, inspirational suspense, suspense thrillers, paranormal suspense, suspense mysteries.
In every book she keeps this promise to her Loyal Reader: "I will tell you a story in a distinctive voice you'll always recognize, about people as ordinary as you are--people who have been slammed by something they didn’t sign on for, and now they must fight for their lives. Then smack in the middle of their everyday worlds, those people encounter the unexplainable--and it's always the game-changer."
