Book Beginnings on Fridays June 22, 2012

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include  include the title and author so others know what you're reading.


"On the first anniversary of his release from prison, Travis Chase woke at four in the morning to bright sunlight framing his window blinds."

That is the first sentence from The Breach by Patrick Lee.  I found The Breach at the library.  It had a Science Fiction sticker on it and looked like it was a mystery to boot so I checked it out.  Haven't started it yet but it is the next book on my stack.
