Keeping up with the news is a passion for award-winning
Christian author DiAnn Mills. Her commitment to this
pursuit is what lead to her inspiration for her Crime Scene
Houston novels, a series from Zondervan Books, which
launches in April with a riveting story titled THE
CHASE. DiAnn could never forget reading gut-wrenching
news reports about the murder of an unidentified child
called Beloved Doe (real case name) by law enforcement
officials. Delving into the Houston FBI's public records of
a cold case that was eventually solved, DiAnn crafted her
own story about two people drawn together by their
dedication to bringing justice to the memory of a murdered
child.
In keeping with the inspiration for THE
CHASE, DiAnn will award the winner in her March contest
a three-month subscription to USA Today—and a
copy of this exceptional novel. If the winner is a current
subscriber to USA Today, that subscription will be
extended by 65 issues. Three great prizewinners will each
receive another DiAnn Mills novel.
Who could forget an
unidentified little girl who was found starved to death in
the woods behind a Houston apartment complex five years
ago? Certainly not Kariss Walker, a TV news anchor who
reported on the story.
Now a New York Times bestselling women's fiction
author, Kariss is compelled to turn the unsolved case into
a suspense novel, to solve the murder in fiction, if not in
real life. Kariss persuades FBI Agent Tigo Harris to re-
open the case, and together they solve the crime in a
collage of suspense, faith, and romance.
But the search for the dead girl's missing mother yields a
discovery that plunges the partners into a witch's brew of
danger.
