When St. Louis County Detective Jack Turner (brother of Bri Turner, featured in Into the Fire, 2023) arrives at a crime scene, he doesn't expect the cold reception he gets from the beautiful witness. Lindsey Barnes has dealt with a lot of trauma in her past, and, because of handsome Jack's involvement with an old friend, she thinks she has a good reason to dislike him. Despite a lack of leads, Lindsey and Jack's paths keep crossing because strange things keep happening to Lindsey: her car is stolen, then found a few blocks away; she is pulled underwater while rowing on the river. Lindsey's psychologist doesn't think her trauma has caused permanent damage, but as more strange things happen to her, the less Lindsey believes him. And Jack is dealing with his own grim past. The attraction between the two is palpable and irresistible, but the troubling case keeps their romance on the back burner until it's almost too late. As she did in the first "Undaunted Courage" novel, Hannon sprinkles in the villain's point of view to great strategic affect; once their identity is revealed, it's a real shocker. The sweet romance and suspenseful mystery elements combine seamlessly in this faith-based novel that will appeal to fans of Lynette Eason and Dee Henderson.
