(Uncommon Heroes series - Book Four)
Author: Dee Henderson
Publisher: Multnomah Publishers
ISBN: 1-59052-082-3
Genre: Inspirational/Contemporary/Romantic/Suspense
FBI agent Luke Falcon has been on the trail of his nemesis, Frank Hardin,
for longer than he'd care to admit. Nothing can sway Luke from pursuing
the man who leaves a trail of bodies in his wake. Nothing except for the
disappearance of his cousin Mark and his family.
Caroline Lane has dated Luke off and on for the past year, and is ready to
call it quits. Though she cares for Luke, she's tired of his job
interfering with their dates and planned get-togethers. Luke is married to
his job, and has no place in his life for her. But when her sister's
family disappears, Luke is the only person she trusts to get them back.
As the body count multiplies and the time clock is ticking toward the
ransom deadline, Luke wonders if he has the courage and fortitude to
handle his job any longer. When the kidnapping takes an unforeseen twist,
he fears what this means for Caroline. Can their tenuous relationship
survive the crisis? Will Luke find his family before it's too late?
True Courage is the fourth installment in Dee Henderson's
thrilling Uncommon Heroes series. As with the other books in the series,
readers won't be disappointed. Though True Courage starts a
bit slower than previous Henderson books, but it quickly builds into a
suspenseful ride filled with surprising twists, dead ends, and beloved
characters in imminent danger. Vivid details of FBI and law enforcement
procedures create realistic tension and make for interesting scenes.
True Courage is a stand-alone book. You can read it even if you
haven't read the previous three in the series.
I had the privilege of reviewing both the print version and book on CD.
The CD version adds an interesting dimension with sound effects such as
ringing phones, car noises, and music at scene changes and during tense
scenes. The narrator does an excellent job with the various men's voices,
but I would have enjoyed the CD better if a woman had done the female
voices. It was great traveling around town on my errands and listening to
the CDs. Course, I wasted a lot of gas, sitting in my car, as I listened
until a scene break came each time I arrived at my destination.
Whether you read the book or listen to the CD version, True Courage will
take you on a riveting ride and leave you eagerly anticipating Dee
Henderson's next book.
