Publisher Description
Brill Jessup just became the first female police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee, and is riding on the credentials of a stellar eighteen-year career on the Memphis police force. She may be a pro at finding clues, but she tends to ignore the obvious in her personal life. Her husband, Kurt, is weighed down by her unrelenting anger as he struggles to let God redeem the stupidest mistake he ever made. Brill hides behind her badge and her bitterness, deciding that moving her family away from Memphis is the only change she needs to make. Before she even has time to unpack her boxes, people start disappearing. Lots of them. To complicate matters, a local legend has many residents believing that the cause is unearthly—tied to the “red shadows,” or spirits of the departed Cherokee who once inhabited the land. While Brill draws on all of her experience and instinct to solve the case, she must confront an enemy that threatens everything she holds dear—one that cannot be stopped with a badge and a gun.

Quotes
-
“Brill is an intriguing, flawed character…Things move along briskly, and [Herman] will have readers waiting for the next installment in this trilogy.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Herman skillfully builds suspense and twists plotlines, keeping her readers hooked from beginning to end. While the characters in this book are both interesting and three-dimensional, Brill is an especially fascinating blend of tough and vulnerable, the epitome of a woman under great stress, personal and professional.”
— Booklist (starred review) -
“[Herman’s] deft combining of family and marriage issues with gripping mystery and suspense will keep reader riveted. This impressive author never disappoints.”

" Another good Christian mystery, also another freebie I got from Amazon. This was my first book by Kathy Herman, but I enjoyed both the writing, characters and plot. I would definitely read more by her in the future :) "

" Wouldn't be such a bad book if there weren't SO MANY biblical references...Jesus, it got so damn annoying! "
— Melissa, 8/4/2010 -
" This book was okay, but really seemed like it was cramming religion down your throat. More of a drama than a mystery. I did enjoy it anyhow. "
— Dee, 4/30/2010 -
" I skimmed through most of this book, good storyline but very slow moving "
— Terri, 4/15/2010 -
" The baffling mystery is only one layer of this story. The most important deals with issues of faith and forgiveness. "
— Lillie, 4/9/2010 -
" Seems that I'm choosing books lately that begin a little slowly or roughly, but this was good enough that I will real the two sequels. "
— Mimi, 2/13/2010 -

— Laura, 1/14/2010 -
