"The angels took her away, boy. We cannot contend with heaven. The angels know what's best."
Traveling to the beautiful cabin tucked within the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee was supposed to be a relaxing retreat for former police officer turned successful mystery writer Erin Delaney and former FBI behavioral analyst Kaely Quinn-Hunter. The two women had bonded virtually and were now looking forward to spending time together in person. Erin was carrying deep emotional wounds and Kaely's keen spiritual insight urged her to speak softly but truthfully. What they never planned for? . . . a serial killer roaming Watcher Woods.
"In that moment, he made a decision. He would contend with heaven."
Local police chief Adrian Nightengale was thankful for any assistance the two seasoned specialists could provide. Both women had incredible instincts and Kaely's well respected, but rather unique method of criminal profiling was certainly a boost to the case. When horrific winter weather moves into the region, there is not a lot Adrian can do to assist in any way, they are on their own.
Incredible! This high-stakes thriller draws a myriad of emotions into hyper focus through its characters; a crazed criminal whose distortion of religious belief is dangerously demented, a young woman who has experienced enormous levels of trauma trying to salve her guilt without any spiritual dimension . . . and a courageous friend who stands in the gap, offering the Spirit of truth.
"'God' . . . was all she could get out before . . . "
