Special Agent Cailin McKenna and her National Protection and Investigation Unit partners are drawn into a case that started with a pair of school shootings in Minneapolis. They soon learn that a hate group is recruiting teenagers on school grounds, handing out metal music rife with violent messages, and plotting a terrorist offensive on a major Twin Cities venue.

The case gets personal when the stabbing of Cailin's brother is linked. To complicate matters, Cailin's fiery new relationship is threatened by the return of a psycho stalker ex-girlfriend hell-bent on getting Cailin back. 

Cailin soon finds herself in a fight for her life. And the clock is ticking--can she prevail in time to stop the worst terror attack that Minnesota has ever seen?

Editorial Reviews

Review

  • "From the gripping opening to the final, suspense-filled scene, Chandler has penned a page-turner that propels the reader down the rabbit hole into the center of one of today's most deeply disturbing crimes. With grit, humor and heart, Chandler has truly hit her stride in this compelling new mystery." --Ellen Hart, author of the award-winning Jane Lawless series
  • "Chandler weaves current crisis and human drama that grabs hold of your throat and won't let go." --Lori L. Lake, award-winning author of the Gun Series
  • "Kudos for creating a novel that examines powerfully frightening subjects in a way that keeps the reader turning the page. From start to finish, OSH takes readers on a ride they won't soon forget." --Jove Belle, author of the crime novel, The Job
  • "In Operation Stop Hate, Jessie Chandler proves herself a gifted writer, as capable of handling intense drama as she is of navigating comic capers in her popular Shay O'Hanlon series. OSH hit me like a gutshot--timely, elegantly plotted, with characters who will stick with me." --Jess Lourey, author of the Lefty-award nominated Murder by the Month Mysteries
  • "Jessie Chandler is known for her award-winning crime capers, but here she reveals a harder edge. Part taut procedural, part expose of extremism and part study of the meaning of family, Operation Stop Hate is a fast-paced, high-stakes read. We want more!" --Catriona McPherson, award-winning author of the Dandy Gilver series and standalones

I really enjoyed Operation Stop Hate. Well, honestly I liked it as much as I could. The behind the scenes, insider look at hate groups is not pleasant. Law enforcement does what it can to put these groups out of business. But it seems like an uphill battle.

Super thriller series from Jessie! She's successfully created characters that are more gritty and shady than the O'Hanlon caper series. Jess has proven her ability to branch out. Can't wait for the next book!

Great mystery. Definitely more serious than the Shay OHanlon series, but just as good if not better in terms of the mystery. I look forward to the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars FINE NOVEL EXPLORES LAW ENFORCEMENT RESISTANCE TO HATE GROUPS
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018
A rousing adventure into the way federal, state and local law enforcement agencies study and take action to protect the nation against religious and political hate groups and their attacks on our people, especially LGBTQ folks. The novel follows the actions of Special Agent Cailin McKenna, a valued if occasionally erratic, member of a national force dubbed National Protection and Investigation Unit.
NPIU is called in when two shootings occur at two Minneapolis schools. Several law enforcement agencies participate in attempting to pin down connections when it becomes possible that the shootings are linked. McKenna is upended when she discovers one of the shooters may be a boy she thought she rescued from the streets.
McKenna’s life is further complicated by unwanted oppressive attention from her former lover, Elisa, an obsessive-compulsive ad exec who seems to be losing her grip on reality. McKenna, faced with opposing forces on the job and in her love life, has a tough time navigating the investigation. All of these conditions are presented in an interesting matrix of events and emotions.
There are a large number of really good characters in this book, consistently and interestingly presented. They move through McKenna’s obit and fulfill important roles.
The novel moves apace and if there are a bit too many words devoted to the high emotions of McKenna’s love life, the entire story is presented in a tasteful way that never loses sight of the primary and most serious plot, revealing the motivations and political efforts of hate groups in our society. I recommend this novel for its current social connections and excellent readability.

Love this novel. A bit of tongue in cheek, a lot frightening, more reality based than one would like, but that just makes it a more involving read. Great work, Ms. Chandler!

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2015

A change of pace for Ms Chandler and very well executed! This is a grim and complex thriller involving kids killing kids because of hate music, murder plots by white supremicists, undercover cops and finding love with honesty. There is a subplot of the lead character Cailin's previous girlfriend refusing to let go... Wow... Hard to take a breath and I did rush through to the end to make sure all was well... Now I will put this in my reread folder and go back over it slower. There is a lot going on and Cailin is an excellent and well drawn lead. I do want to read more of her and Alex and indeed the whole gang. Glad this is Book One in a series. I'm hoping the same characters are revisited though maybe Cailin could have an easier time?
