With every syllable spoken, every word written, and every step taken recorded, evaluated and rated, there are two things missing; the entire truth and the absolute intent.

When obsessive power meets paranoia.

Jake Conley is thrust into the spotlight after stopping a deranged gunman at an L.A. theater, his new-found fame gets the attention of a private surveillance consulting company that recruits him to be a public relations asset and field consultant working in the world of data mining, hidden cameras, and drones. The benefits are overwhelming and seem to include a beautiful young woman from Venezuela, Medalia Mendoza, daughter of one of the company’s biggest financial contributors, and whose mother has been missing for the last five years. Questions about the company’s integrity and Conley’s role with it mount until he is faced with the life and death decisions that affect everyone involved.

Review

"...well-done and undoubtably enjoyable..." - Kirkus Reviews

From the Author

A data mining algorithm indicates a group of men may be mass shooters. What happens next?
This is one of the questions I wanted to explore in this novel. What are the options for the government, and in this case a private security firm, to take with this information. The answers lie in the midst of human rights, justice, liberty and public safety concerns. The morality of this type of law enforcement is paramount to this story.

But that's not the whole story, as it unfolds over a year in the life of Jake Conley, and my hope is that the reader will not only be entertained by the events in his personal life, but will also be intrigued by the socio-political aspects of his work.

I liked this book but found it somewhat scary. The surveillance described is certainly attainable today or will be shortly. We already have drones that may deliver purchases so I was convinced that most of the things described in the book could be used. I thought the character Gabe was well developed and in the beginning when he guns down a killer in a theater to save most of them, I was caught up in the action. However Gabe gets involved in an association involving surveillance that leads him deeper into a plot involving kidnapping and romance. He turns out to be a hero again. Some of the situations were a little unbelievable but it was a good read, never the less.

The surveillance in use today can be used for both good and bad. The people have given up their right to privacy in many areas in the name of security. Coleman really highlights this in Deadly Provocation. Living"off the grid" is practically impossible, but domestic surveillance can put terrorists and criminals in the spotlight. Sometimes it spotlights people who have done nothing wrong. Does the good of domestic surveillance outweigh the bad?

An easy read. I particuliarly liked the way the author presents situations of government data mining, surveillance, and gun control while allowing the reader to form his own opinions on how he feels about these issues, or how they might affect their own lives. I really enjoyed the book and would suggest to others that they read it.

the book was very interesting. it was also scary. is our country tracking every move various people make just becuz of their purchases? their friends? I realize we have to be more careful since 9/11, but not every person needs to be monitored.

I missed the crucial 'twists and turns'. There were no gear shifts or variations in pace. The style of narration remained static through and through. That made this book an average read. Yet I am certain, Coleman has it in him to impress us with his next thriller. Look out.

This book almost sounded like a si-fi novel. It was more than 1/2 way through that any of it made any sense to those of us without computer savy. Whenthestory grotto evolve their was no excitement I either the haze or the rescue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

T. F. Coleman's fiction/action & adventure novel "Deadly Provocation" totally piqued my interest in the power involved in mass surveillance and the danger of abuses of power we should all be made more aware of.

I would like to see much more of this author's work.

I am presently one half through this book and so far it is just O.K. It has taken some time for the Plot to form and yet I'm clear on what the Plot will develop into.
