PRE-ORDER NOW! Boom Town ~ A Charlie Dawson Mystery Book 1 by Terry Tyo
On New Year’s Eve, 1969, a terrorist blast rips through Riverside’s Bank of Canada building, shattering the quiet factory town and igniting a night of fire, fear, and chaos. By morning, Riverside is no longer just another town north of the Canada–U.S. border—it’s a battlefield.
Charlie Dawson never expected to be part of a war. But when the explosion kills his father, grief turns to resolve. Determined to find those responsible, Charlie is pulled into a deadly hunt that exposes something far more dangerous than a single act of terror.
Because the bombing wasn’t random.
As Charlie digs deeper, he uncovers forces tightening their grip on his family, his town, and his generation, and realizes the truth could cost him everything.
History never explains why it chooses certain places, or certain people. But it chose Riverside. And it chose Charlie.
Boomtown is the gripping first installment in the Charlie Dawson mystery series, an atmospheric, character-driven novel set in the fictionalized town of Riverside, Ontario against the backdrop of Canada’s FLQ October Crisis. It’s a story of loyalty and betrayal, of fathers and sons, and of one man’s fight to stand against the rising tide of violence.
Perfect for readers who love historical mysteries with heart, grit, and a slow-burning sense of danger, Boomtown introduces a hero forged in fire—and a town that will never be the same.
TERRY TYO:
Boom Town, the first book in the Charlie Dawson series, is a tense mystery set in a fictionalized version of Ottawa in 1970, during an explosive time of societal unrest and upheaval—one that feels strikingly relevant as a new generation comes of age.
Terry is currently at work on Curse of the Black Dog, the second installment in the Charlie Dawson Mystery series.
