Just one person can save the children from a terrifying future. But to do so, she must master her past. Beth Wright, a newspaper reporter, is hot on the trail of a story that could expose something very ugly at the St. Clair Children’s Home. Someone else is hot on Beth Wright’s trail—someone who wants to make sure her story never sees the press. Between them stands Nick Hutchins, a social worker who finds his own gut hunches about the children’s home increasingly confirmed, first by Beth’s investigation . . . then by a high-speed attempt on her life . . . and finally, by an intruder’s startling confession. As the drama unfolds, a horrifying picture emerges of helpless children under the sway of a modern-day Fagin. Just one person holds the key that can save them: Beth herself. But using that key could cost Beth her reputation . . . if it doesn’t first cost her life. Presumption of Guilt is a gripping portrayal of the depths of human evil, the soul-twisting influence of lies . . . and of the liberating power of truth and the far-reaching freedom of God’s mercy and grace. Presumption of Guilt is book four in the Sun Coast Chronicles by award-winning author Terri Blackstock. From absorbing legal drama to lightning-paced action, the Sun Coast offers suspense at its finest, tempered with remarkable realism and penetrating insights into the human heart.

— Shari, 5/5/2012" Beth Wright is on a story of a children's home being used to front a crime ring "
— Debbie, 1/14/2012" It was absolutely wonderful!! "
— Sharon, 10/9/2011" How far would you go to get someone convicted? Would you plant evidence and fake an assault that did not happen? The first time I read this book, I enjoyed it more than the second time. The second time I read it, it seemed like the book was too 'staged'. Like a mold was followed. "

— Susan, 4/21/2011" This was the last book of the series and I was pretty happy to be done with it. The writing was so simplistic and almost elementary-like. Not a favorite. "

— Cassy, 7/23/2010Terri 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.
