Three high school students murdered in two weeks has Texas
Ranger Ethan Stone and Chief of Police Cord Thompson very
busy. Ethan has just moved back to Summerton where he grew
up with Cord. Their joint investigations lead Ethan to the
high school where Cord's sister Sadie is now teaching. She
too just returned to Summerton a year ago. Along with the
murders, Cord's niece is drugged and almost dies. Together,
the three of them are determined to find the murderer and
who is behind the prescription drug ring and pill parties
that are responsible for claiming these young lives. This
case has the high school and the town in a panic. There is
also a spark of romance between Ethan and Sadie that neither
of them expected to find. When Sadie is threatened and then
hurt, Ethan has something well up inside him that makes him
want more than just a casual relationship. Can he find this
killer before more people die?
SEVERED TRUST is a masterfully written inspirational
thriller. There are numerous characters, and Margaret Daley
does an outstanding job of introducing each of them and
explaining the dynamics of their relationships. She has
several story lines going all at the same time and ties them
all together with the real-life issue of prescription drug
abuse. Her characters are strong and realistic, yet have a
sensitive side to them also. They express their faith and
trust in God when people let them down. The story moves at a
rapid pace as Ethan and Cord track down every lead they get.
It is very convincing and intense and has several surprises.
It's not easy to figure out this plot as you just keep
turning pages to see where it goes next. This is the fourth
book in Ms. Daley's Men of the Texas Rangers Series.
I've
read them all, and I think this one's the best. You will not
be disappointed!
The day Sadie Thompson finds her high school student, Lexie,
asleep in class and can't wake her is the day she realizes
how entrenched a prescription drug ring is in her school. As
Sadie is pulled into doing something about the growing
problem, she becomes involved with Ethan Stone—a Texas
Ranger who suspects the drug ring reaches far beyond the
high school.
Helping Lexie recover from the overdose, Sadie feels she is
making a difference—until the 16-year-old's best friend dies
from the apparent mixing of various prescription drugs.
Lexie doesn't think her friend took her own life, but her
relationship with her Uncle Ethan is precarious and she
doesn’t know if either he or Sadie will help her discover
the truth.
