Special Agent Bethany Sanchez meets her new partner at the
scene of a murder her first day on her new job. She's been
with the civil rights division of the FBI and has just
transferred to violent crimes. Special Agent Thatcher
Graves believes this murder is the work of a serial killer.
It's the second one in which the victim is shot in the head
and a plastic scorpion is left on the body. Bethany isn't
so sure it's a serial killer. She wants to explore all the
facts related to both murders and investigate other
avenues. Bethany goes by the book, whereas Thatcher goes by
his gut. Will this partnership last?
The investigation is running into one dead end after
another, when a third body is found with a bullet hole to
the head and a plastic scorpion left on the body. Now
Bethany is a little more on board with Thatcher's serial
killer theory. However, nothing seems to tie the killings
together, and they don't have a solid profile on the
killer. Will Bethany and Thatcher be able to stop this
murderer before he kills again? And what are they going to
do about this growing attraction between them?
DiAnn Mills brings us another magnificent, inspirational
thriller in her FBI: Houston series. DEADLOCK is a
riveting, fast-paced adventure that will hold you captive
from the opening pages to the closing epilogue. Bethany and
Thatcher are realistic, well developed, strong characters,
each with their own unique style for investigating crimes.
Ms. Mills uses supporting characters from previous books in
this series, but the story stands alone as a great read.
DEADLOCK explores the question of where God fits into all
the evil in the world. Bethany lives her strong faith in
God, but Thatcher's faith is new-found, and he struggles to
let God take charge of his life. This is a story about
family dynamics, a story about patience and grace. Ms.
Mills also weaves psychological diseases and diabetes into
the storyline, as well as discussing society's view of the
homeless. If inspirational thrillers are your genre, do not
miss this one.
Two murders have rocked the city of Houston. Are they the
work of a serial killer, or is a copycat trying to get
away
with murder?
That is the question facing Special Agent Bethany
Sanchez,
who is eager for her new assignment in violent crimes but
anxious about meeting her new partner. Special Agent
Thatcher Graves once arrested her brother, and he has a
reputation for being a maverick. Plus, their
investigative
styles couldn’t be more opposite: he operates on
instinct,
while she goes by the book.
When hot leads soon fizzle out, their differences
threaten
to leave them deadlocked. But an attempt on their lives
turns up the heat and brings them closer together, and a
third victim might yield the clue that will help them
zero
in on a killer. This could be the case of their careers .
.
. if they can survive long enough to solve it.
