All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid it.
Former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor John Cross is busy caring for the small community of believers he ministers to in Virginia. Journalist Christine Lewis is busy with the demand for her talents from top news agencies in New York City. Neither have any time left for their relationship, which began eight months before when they paired up to prevent the detonation of a chemical bomb in the nation’s capital.
But when Christine hears that her stepbrother has been arrested for murder in Texas, they team up again to discover the truth about the crime. Untangling a web of conspiracy, the couple finds themselves in the center of another dangerous situation—and in trouble far deeper than they expected.
With an assassin on the loose, a trusted colleague acting as a double agent, and unreliable artificial intelligence connected to mercenaries who have Cross on their hit list, these two may not get out of the Lone Star State alive.All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth.

My take: I enjoyed this second book in the Shepherd Suspense series. Even though John and Christine have started a relationship they still have to deal with the long distance and as anybody can imagine that is difficult in the best of circumstances . Christine learns that her brother has been arrested in Texas for murder and she feels she must go down there to help in anyway she can. John feels he must go down to protect Christine. She is not too happy when he meets her but John says he is there to attend a pastors conference which is true but not the whole truth. While at the pastors conference the suspense in this book really ramped up and it didn't let down the rest of the book but to be fair the book started out on a very suspenseful not. I would highly recommend this book if you like suspense and want to read a Christian Book in this vain.
I received a copy of this book from Kregel Publications and Read with Audrey for review purposes and was not required to write a positive review.
