ABOUT THE BOOK

FBI Agent Laurel Evertson’s investigation into a scam targeting the elderly takes an unexpected twist when key evidence leads her to Morton Wilmington, a felon she arrested five years ago on her first undercover assignment. That case has haunted her since, and though she’s vowed to forget Wilmington—and what she sacrificed to put him away—he is now her best lead. Houston Police Officer Daniel Hilton fears his grandparents may be the scammer’s next targets, and he’ll do anything to protect his family—even force interagency cooperation. But he’s quickly drawn to Laurel’s empathy and zeal and agrees to follow her lead . . . even if it means teaming up with a felon. As the unlikely trio uncovers evidence suggesting the scam is more extensive and deadly than they imagined, both Laurel and Daniel find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer. Together they must decide if they can trust Wilmington’s claims of redemption, or if he’s leading them straight into a double cross.

My review:
  I have read a few suspense novels by DiAnn Mills, and enjoyed all of them. After reading this one, I found myself hoping she keeps writing suspense. This was a top notch read. I liked the characters, even the criminal-turned good, and I was kept guessing all through the book whether he had really changed or if he was just playing the FBI and police.

  The book is chock full of action and suspense, and I found it to be a book that I didn't want to put down, so I kept reading it until it was finished. I liked the fact that the book was definitely Christian in content, and was also clean and free from any curse words.

 It has been a while since I read the first book in this series, but they don't seem to be connected much, of any, and can definitely be read out of order. I would recommend both books, and any of her other suspense novels, which I have read all of.

  Thanks to The Christian Fiction Blog Alliance and  the author for the review copy.
