Publisher Description
A girl with a questionable past. An Alfred Hitchcock movie. And a plan for a double murder conspire for one explosive ride.
Emily Covington has turned her life around after a drug addiction, but her family still has trouble trusting her. Though Emily has committed herself to a year-long treatment program and has been sober for almost a year beyond that, even her mother walks on eggshells around her, fearing she’ll relapse. After her behavior during her drug years, Emily realizes she has a lot to prove.
When police discover a homemade bomb under Emily’s car, and she then learns the wife of one of her friends was murdered that same morning, she knows things are deadly serious. But who wants her dead?
A conversation she had with two men, an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and a plan for a double murder all conspire for one explosive ride . . . and Emily is the only one who can identify the killer and save the life of the next potential victim. But will anyone believe her?
As she frantically works to solve this ever more complicated puzzle and convince the authorities of the truth, Emily finds the focus of the investigation turned back on her. She’s played right into the killer’s hands . . . and he won’t stop until more lives are destroyed.

"Another powerful novel in the Intervention series. It was good to catch up with the Covingtons again. Blackstock adeptly shows what the life of an addict (even recovering addicts) can be like. She shows hope and cautions in the same novel. Fans will be pleased."
— C.J. (4 out of 5 stars)

" I liked this book and found it easy to read. I didn't realize it was the third in a series when I started it, and really appreciated that I didn't need to go back and read the first two to understand what was going on in this one. I'll definitely be picking up more books by this author. "

" This book was pretty good. It was not as good as the first two in the series though. I thought the plot of this one was a little predictable. I still enjoyed it though. "

" A combination of thriller and romance. At some points, I wondered which weighed more heavily in the story line. Quick up, quick down, an easy read that has a decent ending to the Intervention Series. "

About Terri Blackstock
Terri Blackstock made a decision more than a decade ago that permanently changed the direction of her writing career. She had grown to become an award-winning secular novelist of over thirty published titles. And yet she was miserable, and her career left her unfulfilled. One night she decided she would never again write something that was displeasing to God. Since then she has written more than thirty novels, many of which were New York Times bestsellers, and was given the Retailers Choice Award in 2007 for best Christian novel in the general fiction category for Night Light. She lives in Mississippi with her husband, Ken.
