“Collateral Redemption” by John and Laurie Toomey has been released worldwide. This 264-page novel tells the harrowing story of Amelia, who survives a brutal home invasion, as she seeks justice for the unsolved crime and attempts to recover from the physical and psychological wounds she endured. Accompanied by Gabriel and Daniel, two hired security professionals, Amelia and her husband do their best to navigate the tumultuous landscape of trauma. As the plot unfolds, Amelia and her protectors discover shocking truths that threaten to pull them even further into darkness.
A style-spanning thriller that expands the parameters of the “bodyguard” subgenre, the novel moves seamlessly among elements of romance, betrayal, redemption, and exploration of fundamental humanity, showing that the healing process is often a nonlinear test of strength. As Amelia learns more about the crime she survived and the secrets of those involved, her resilience and ability to trust are pushed to their limits. Through her journey toward recovery, readers will encounter extremes of human potential – from the depths of evil to the heights of love and forgiveness.
With vividly descriptive writing and a pace that builds constant anticipation, John and Laurie Toomey weave a complex story of equally complex characters. Through each struggle, revelation, and setback, the authors examine what it means to hold on to hope, ultimately showing audiences that people are capable of overcoming great obstacles with the power of perseverance.
Sometimes devastating, other times deeply moving, and viscerally empowering throughout, this action-packed tale pits humanity’s best and worst qualities against each other to chronicle Amelia’s path from shattered victim to indomitable wholeness.

From the back cover:
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But that is not the whole story.
Amelia’s life has been shattered. Following a brutal home invasion, she finds herself damaged, a collateral casualty of a violent unsolved robbery.
Enter Gabriel and Daniel, two private security contractors hired by her Wall Street husband to solve the crime and provide protection for them. As they delve deeper, it soon becomes clear that Amelia is collateral in more ways than one, and nothing is as it seems.
With Gabriel and Daniel’s help, Amelia learns that sometimes what doesn’t kill you can break you into pieces, but that is where we find our true strength – in fighting to put the pieces back together.
Collateral Redemption is a story that transcends evil.
It is a story of survival, resilience, healing, and love.
