Inspirational Mystery

Ex-Marine Lt. Robin Duncan contracts for a job as a language interpreter with Ares Solutions, a company run by Trevor Mulroney. She's worked for them on several occasions, and this money is just what she needs for her niece's operation. She's excited about returning to Africa, close to where she spent time as a child. At a border crossing into the Congo, she is reunited with a former Marine she knew in Afghanistan, Dr. Michael Stewart. There was more than a passing friendship between the two, and Robin is not sure about her feelings now. She learns he will be just a short distance from her base camp in the Ituri Rainforest, so their paths will cross often.

As Robin begins this special-op, designed to take out a menacing resurgent killer and restore transport operations at a mine owned by Mulroney, she soon realizes all may not be aboveboard here. What seems to be good may be evil, and what seems to be evil may be good. As Robin gets caught up in trying to sort out what and who is good or evil, she learns there is something here infinitely more valuable than their stated mission. Her very life may be threatened by the situation. Is their stated mission the real purpose here? And will she ever return to her sister and beloved niece?

CONGO DAWN is a sizzling tale of corruption, oppression and injustice in the Congo. Jeanette Windle paints a vivid picture of the beauty of the land, as well as the corruption and devastation that is taking place. This is a story about hatred and anger and how to overcome it with forgiveness and hope. The characters leap from the pages with the diverse personalities Windle gives them. If you enjoy a thriller about international espionage and special ops, but love a strong inspirational message and a little romance, this is a great read.

SUMMARY

While former Marine lieutenant Robin Duncan is no stranger to corruption or conspiracy, she has always been able to tell the good guys from the bad, and the Congo jungle at first seems no different. But as her security team tries to track down an insurgent killer, Robin has to face a man who broke her trust years ago, and she discovers the gray areas extend farther in this jungle wilderness than she anticipated.A ruthless global conspiracy begins to surface, run by powerful men who can’t afford to leave any witnesses. Her life at stake, Robin doesn’t know who to trust and wonders how she can help protect innocent people. Why is God silent amid all the pain and injustice? And how do these people of faith continue to rejoice in their suffering?
