Publisher Description
Sometimes the closer you get to justice, the deadlier it becomes
When decorated FBI undercover agent Scott Sinclair suffers a gunshot wound in his right arm, the injury threatens his future career in the field. He is determined to regain his former job by training himself to use his left hand, and failure is not an option--especially when he's unofficially pulled into an investigation.
Tori Mitchell is a passionate crime reporter and podcaster who has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth has freed a wrongfully convicted man from prison, making Tori an enemy of the true killer. When her nephew is accused of a different murder, nothing can stop her from getting involved and clearing his name.
Soon after Tori and Scott reconnect on the case, shots are fired, leaving them to wonder which of them has been targeted. As the investigation intensifies, so do the threats and the sparks between them, but Tori's doubtful if she can extend grace and trust to Scott. They'll have to combine their skills and rely on their growing relationship to outsmart the killer.
Perfect for fans of Lynette Eason, Lynn H. Blackburn, Elizabeth Goddard, and readers who love faith-based fiction and edge-of-your-seat thrillers, this riveting, clean romantic suspense delivers heart-pounding danger and forced-proximity romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bradley's rushed latest in the Logan Point series (after Silence in the Dark) stars a true crime podcaster whose current investigation hits a little too close to home. Tori Mitchell, host of Dark Deeds Unraveled, has maintained a careful distance from her hometown of Logan Point, Miss., ever since her mother died in a tragic accident there seven years earlier. But when her 17-year-old nephew, Drew, is accused of murdering Tori's sister-in-law's best friend, Jenny Tremont, Tori reluctantly heeds her relatives' pleas to return home and use her investigative skills to clear his name. There's barely time to start sleuthing, though, before an attempt is made on Tori's life, forcing her to seek help from former FBI agent Scott Sinclair, who's in town recovering from an injury. Even Scott can't seem to protect Tori from the "accidents" that keep befalling her, however, and as their escapes grow narrower—and it becomes clear Drew knows more about the murder than he should—both Tori and Scott wrestle with their faith as they race to unmask the killer. While the murder mystery adds intrigue, it's blunted by clumsy prose and a second half that incorporates several hasty reveals on its way to the abrupt conclusion. Thrill seekers would be better served elsewhere.
