From award-winning suspense author Terri Blackstock comes a chilling small-town thriller where a marriage on the brink collides with a killer closing in, combining romantic suspense, faith under pressure, and the dangers that lurk beneath close-knit communities.

"This tense and exciting thriller is more than a fabulous read; it has an underlying message about the place of religion within a marriage. Highly recommended." --Library Journal

Staying together had seemed impossible. Now it's their only hope. A dark shadow of fear has fallen over Newpointe, Louisiana. First one, then another of the town firemen's wives has been murdered, and a third has barely escaped an attempt on her life. Incredible as it seems, a serial killer is stalking this sleepy little southern community. And Mark Branning's wife may be next on the list. Mark is determined to protect her. But keeping Allie alive won't be easy--not with their marriage already dying a bitter death. Unless they renew their commitment to each other and to God, someone else may settle their problems . . . permanently. And time to decide is running out.

Perfect for fans of romantic suspense and faith-driven thrillers, this is a must-read start to a series that explores redemption when the stakes are life and death.

The Newpointe 911 series offers taut, superbly crafted novels of faith, fear, and close-knit small-town relationships, seasoned with romance and tempered by insights into the nature of relationships, redemption, and the human heart. Look also for Shadow of Doubt, Line of Duty, Word of Honor, and Trial by Fire.
