New York Times bestselling author, Kariss Walker, is
determined to change genres and write suspense. She's no
longer feeling fulfilled in writing women's fiction. For her
first attempt, she shadows Tigo Harris, a top-notch FBI
agent. Tigo is not ecstatic about the assignment, although
Kariss is easy on the eyes. He is in the middle of
investigating a gang of gun smugglers and knows the extreme
dangers of his assignment.
Kariss is interested in a cold case, Cherished Doe, which
she reported on five years ago when she was still a news
anchor in Houston. Her interest and questions cause Tigo to
seek permission to reopen the case. When a media blitz is
made to find anyone with information on the girl, an uncle
comes forth with some limited information. At least it's a
start. Kariss wants to make her novel a version of this
story that will bring justice to the end of this five year
olds life. The child had starved to death.
Although the department has made every effort to keep Kariss
away from danger during this investigation, she accidently
becomes one of the gun-smuggling gang's targets by being in
the wrong place at the wrong time. She gets caught in a
shoot-out at the hospital, wounded in the shoulder in
another incident, almost run over by a motorcycle and is
involved in a chase down the interstate. Tigo has never seen
anyone so stubborn as Kariss Walker. She insists in doing
some investigating of her own. Will her stubbornness led to
answers in this cold case, or will it lead to her death?
THE CHASE is a well-written, detail-driven, action-packed
suspense novel in its own right. The characters and their
emotions are expertly described and believable. Both Kariss
and Tigo struggle with putting their faith in God after
seeing so many corrupt and unscrupulous things happen. Both
have had parents who have gently nudged them in the right
direction, but they have both rebelled. Will a near-death
experience change their hearts? Diann Mills has given us
another exciting, inspirational story that will not be able
to put down.
Based on a real–life cold case, The Chase, by bestselling
author DiAnn Mills, teams novelist and former news–anchor
Kariss Walker with FBI Special Agent Tigo Harris as they
reopen an unsolved crime case and discover more than they
bargained for. Will Kariss's pursuit of her dream as a
suspense writer come at a deadly cost? Join in The Chase and
find out.
