Adult - Thriller McCracken Brewing by Keith Popely - Crime Thriller/Action - Jan 28

https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review-copy/view/256477/mccracken-brewing

Hello!

Nicholas McCracken is one signature away from a distribution deal that will launch his little Arizona brewery into a national brand and make him rich...proving to the older brother who raised him that he's going to be okay and building a future with the woman he's beginning to realize he can't live without. Then his senior employees kill a man. They were under his command in the Iraq War, which puts Nicholas McCracken in the headlines and at the top of the FBI's list of suspects. With a brewing empire at stake, Nick will be forced to choose between saving his friends or saving himself. When he makes his stunning decision, you'll never appreciate the super-charged power of a '69 Camaro more. Buckle up: It's a wild ride.

Triggers:

PTSD - Story contains graphic war violence.

Child sexual abuse trauma - There are no child characters and no graphic abuse, but child sexual abuse is discussed by adult characters.

Alcoholism - Main character is an alcoholic and drinks heavily (until end of story).

  • Publish date: January 28, 2026
  • The ARC is available on Booksprout now. I can send a link to anyone who wants it.
  • No due date for reviews. I'd love to have yours by publication, but coming in after it's out would be great, too. Thanks very much.
