Moira Harrison hits someone in an accident on a deserted
road one rainy night. Lost and confused from
the accident, Moira was relieved when someone else shows up assuring her that
he called 911 and help is on the way.
Moira passes out and when she comes to, an hour has passed and there is
no sign of the man who stopped to help, the person she hit, or any emergency
service people. The police, when she
calls them, obviously don’t believe her story, thinking that she was
disoriented from the accident. She
decides to speak to a private investigator, and, with a recommendation in hand,
contacts Phoenix, Inc., and speaks to Cal Burke. Burke is intrigued by the case and agrees to
check it out pro bono, since Moira can’t pay their fees. Moira, a reporter so no stranger to investigation,
also helps him out on stake-outs and other tasks. As the two spend time together, they become
aware of a growing attraction that neither wish to act on until the case is
solved. As readers, we get to know a lot
more information than the characters and are clearly introduced to the perpetrator
early on in the book. However, the
intrigue and suspense are still fun. The
Christian romance is also handled pretty well and doesn’t overpower the rest of
the story. People who like any of these
aspects will probably enjoy this story.
