Distortions (Retribution Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition
For Quinn Masterson, a federal agent still recovering from a violent abduction when she was a teenager, the goal is simple: find a killer before he has the chance to kill again.
Won't hurt her
The wreckage of a passenger jet lies in a field in Pennsylvania and Quinn has just joined the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico. This shouldn’t be her first case, but her new boss has it out for her and Quinn doesn’t know why.
It will kill her
What she does know is that the bomber isn’t your run-of-the-mill killer. Jars of human bile in his attic and a single word scrawled on the floor: RETRIBUTION. It means something and her instincts tell her that unless she can decipher the meaning of that word, she may end up on a killer’s table again, and this time she may not be so lucky.
What They’re Saying about Distortions
“A gut punch with twists and turns at every corner.”
“Reads like a police procedural that captures the stark chimera of human nature and puts it on display for the world to see.”
“Quinn Masterson is real, approachable, and tremendously flawed, and you want her to win, but the odds are against her.”

Editorial Reviews
From the Author
I love her character because all her vulnerabilities are right there for the world to experience. Quinn's incessant conflict - the refusal to accept her brother's death and move on - isn't an indictment on Quinn, even though she might wish it to be. Her parents are clearly unfit to have raised her, but it doesn't matter anymore. And Quinn's personal struggles with sexuality and intimacy are nothing more than symptoms of a latent disease.
She's not even a good criminologist. How can she be? She's only just begun her career with the FBI. The battles she faces are the same battles we all face in our day-to-day lives. They're just made more interesting by virtue of what she does. She hunts down and destroys killers, or so she would like to believe. There's more complexity to her psyche and what's really going on than I can fit into a single novel - or even a dozen novels.
In the creation of the other characters - Philip Glass, Howie the Marine Lieutenant, Romeo 'Circuits' Drabinski, Louise and yes, even boss bitch Tanya Morrisey - I wanted to give Quinn's life - and new career - a dynamic environment around which her fears, thoughts, foibles and neuroses could revolve. I always know a book is good - at least one I've written - when the story seems to compose itself. This is Distortions, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it."

- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2014An awesome book which was hard to put down. Mr. Campbell is a gifted author and his book, Distortions, has more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Move over Stephen King, there's a new kid on the block.
