Featured Review on this writing by niah
"Personally I would have thought that my life was in danger but that's just the way I think."
When escaping to the wilds of rural North Dakota with his new wartime bride doesn't provide a safe refuge from the pursuing killer, Chaplain Bill Teller is forced into drastic moves that challenge the very foundations of his teachings.
The fast-moving plot is well crafted, and the climax guarantees to keep the reader fully engaged.
