Shattered Sanctuary
Former police officer turned mystery writer Erin Delaney retreats to the Smoky Mountains only to be drawn into a real murder case whose details seem disturbingly arranged. Police chief Adrian asks for her help when ordinary explanations fail, and former FBI profiler Kaely Quinn-Hunter becomes part of the effort to understand the killer. Erin's instincts make her valuable, but they also place her within the attacker's line of sight. This Christian suspense combines serial-killer investigation, psychological profiling, mountain isolation, and a heroine whose fictional expertise becomes dangerously practical.
