Martha's Veil

She vanished meeting a man who doesn't exist. The clock is ticking—and she's not his first victim.

In the fog-shrouded coastal town of Weyport, head baker Martha Porter lives a life of quiet control—perfect cakes, polite smiles, and a heart safely tucked behind emotional walls. But when a charming man begins messaging her through an online Christian forum, Martha dares to hope again… until she vanishes on the very night she agrees to meet him.

The missing-person case falls to Sheriff Angus Reid, whose investigation takes a dark turn when another woman's body washes ashore—another victim who'd been speaking to a mysterious online suitor. What begins as a local missing person case quickly unravels into a disturbing pattern: a calculated predator is using faith-based communities and online forums to hunt vulnerable women across coastal Maine.

As Angus uncovers a chilling network of digital manipulation, stolen identities, and religious deceit, the race to find Martha becomes more urgent. Each clue leads deeper into a twisted mind hiding behind a mask of righteousness, and the line between justice and judgment begins to blur.

Can Angus unmask the predator before Martha becomes his next victim? Or will the fog that shrouds Weyport's coast hide another tragedy forever?

Perfect for fans of Charles Martin, Terri Blackstock, Frank Peretti, and Colleen Coble, Martha's Veil is a tense, faith-driven thriller that explores the intersection of trust, trauma, and spiritual restoration.

Gritty, redemptive, and pulse-pounding to the final page, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author and award-winning Christian mystery writer Urcelia Teixeira delivers a gripping addition to her acclaimed Christian thriller series—where high-stakes suspense meets soul-deep faith and redemption.
