Title: Hideaway Author: Hannah Alexander Publisher: Steeple Hill ISBN: 0-373-78507-0 Genre: Inspirational/Romantic/Mystery/Suspense
Dr. Cheyenne Allison is well seasoned in the nerve-racking pace of the E.R. and takes it all in stride. That is until her sister, Susan, dies in Cheyenne’s care. As devastating grief takes its toll, Cheyenne is forced to take a leave of absence from the hospital. She agrees to take refuge at a friend’s vacant farm in Hideaway, Missouri. But tranquility eludes her as a vandal terrorizes the town’s residents, and when a series of events demand her medical skills, Cheyenne can’t refuse to help.
Convinced that Dane Gideon is, once again, hiding a dangerous criminal at his ranch for foster boys, Mayor Austin Barlow confronts the ranch director without success. But Dane isn’t the only one that won’t listen to the mayor’s accusations. Something about Austin repels Cheyenne’s trust. When she befriends Dane and the accused vandal, Cheyenne is drawn into the middle of a controversy that could prove deadly.
Though Dane gains Cheyenne’s respect, she can’t embrace his faith. In her eyes, the people that have caused her the most damage have hidden behind Christian masks. A malpractice lawsuit by her greedy brother-in-law could now destroy her medical career and push her even further from God.
When one of Dane’s boys is electrocuted, Cheyenne battles the odds to save his life only to end up as the killer’s next target. Assume nothing. The surprise ending will take your breath away.
Hannah Alexander has expertly weaved a rich tapestry of faith, humor, suspense, and mystery with enough twists and turns to satisfy the most demanding of suspense lovers. A definite keeper!
