Summary
Summary
In Dee Henderson's novella "Betrayed," Janelle Roberts is freed--thanks to people she doesn't know--after serving six years of a twenty-year sentence for a murder she did not commit. But a murderer is still at large, and Janelle needs to be somewhere safe with someone she can trust. She may not survive another betrayal.
In Dani Pettrey's "Deadly Isle," Tennyson Kent is trapped on the isolated island of her childhood by a storm surge, and she is shocked when the typically idyllic community turns into the hunting grounds of a murderer. Cut off from any help from the mainland, will she and first love Callen Frost be able to identify and stop a killer bent on betrayal before they become the next victims?
In Lynette Eason's "Code of Ethics," trauma surgeon Ruthie St. John saves the life of Detective Isaac Martinez. After a betrayal leads to him getting shot and then attacked while in recovery, Isaac is now a key witness determined to testify. But someone is intent on silencing him--and those around him--forever. Together, Ruthie and Isaac go on the run, desperate to escape the killers hunting him.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Henderson (Traces of Guilt), Pettrey (Dead Drift), and Eason (Called to Protect) come together for an exciting trio of suspense novellas concerning betrayal and the healing powers of faith. In Henderson's "Betrayed," Ann Falcon purchases a small box at auction that contains a pink knife with the name Janelle Roberts on the blade. After Ann discovers that Janelle is in prison for murder after being convicted with circumstantial evidence, she and her FBI agent husband, Paul, succeed in clearing her name. But Janelle's release opens up the possibility of the actual murderer coming to find her. In Pettrey's "Deadly Isle," Tennyson "Teni" Kent goes back to her childhood home, Talbot Island, after breaking off her engagement, but her cousin dies in a mysterious drowning on the day she returns. When Teni barely escapes an explosion inside her childhood home, her former sweetheart, Callen Frost, is convinced a murderer is on the loose. In Eason's "Code of Ethics," trauma surgeon Ruthie St. John is helping detective Isaac Martinez recover after he was shot; he thinks the shooter was another police office trying to cover up a crime. When another attempt is made on his life, Ruthie and Isaac flee. Though faith remains only an undercurrent throughout, Christian readers looking for fast-paced crime drama will enjoy this medley of novellas. (Sept.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
