Author: Creston Mapes
Pages: 368
Year: 2014
Publisher: David C. Cook
There’s more than one kind of poison in this town!
People are sick and dying. Rumors are swirling. Some claim
chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the cancer that’s
crippling people on the poor side of Trenton City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the
plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack
Crittendon’s longtime mechanic falls ill.
As Jack investigates, he becomes engulfed in a smokescreen
of lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the
corruption he uncovers. As he faces off with the big time players behind the
scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people die, he realizes the
chillingly unthinkable – he knows way too much.
This is a fantastic Christian suspense novel! I’m giving it
5 stars and highly recommending it.
The plot is very intricately woven and at the beginning of
the book it very slowly develops. As you get farther in it picks up speed as
more and more details are revealed.
There is a
wonderful cast of well developed and beautifully presented characters in this
book. It is not just a couple of main characters and then small glimpse of side
people. They cover a variety of personalities and most of them are easy to
connect with.
I really liked the fact that Jack’s character is still
working through the residue of emotions from the first novel in this series. He
is a human being with all the faults and failures possible with that. It is
nice to see him work through things with his wife and with God as the story
progresses.
