Publisher Description
Acclaimed for his evocative settings and gripping suspense, CBA best-selling author Athol Dickson won his third Christy Award for Lost Mission. Among the dirt-poor barrios and ultra-wealthy enclaves lining the hills of southern California, new construction unearths a long-lost Spanish mission. This discovery sets off a chain of events that presents four unrelated people with difficult choices. In each case, a greater good can be served by compromising a basic moral value-risking the same fate that left the mission buried and forgotten for 250 years.

"A book with several story lines intertwined, but easy to follow from historical time back to present time. I liked the historical story line best, but author tied it all together at the end."
