Genre: Inspirational/Suspense

 

Forensic artist Annie Kingston finds her talents called upon to draw faces of murder victims so their next-of-kin can identify them. Redding, California, is the serial murderer’s stage.  While extracting their identities, pulling from distorted features, single mother Annie must also juggle her errant son’s problems. Her life spins in violent circles.

 

Annie’s new found Christian faith keeps her from losing control. She learns the deep meaning of Ephesians 6 and the powers of darkness and launches her prayers to the Supplier of Light. Taunted by the murderer, Annie continues to cling to the Bible’s promises. She knows her source of victory.

 

Brandilyn Collins’ writing is masterful. She is able to twist and turn events and keep the reader on a breathless race to turn the next page. No Columbo could detect her surprise ending. The third book in this series ranks an eleven on a scale of one to ten!
