Mystery
and suspense combine in this first book in an exciting new 4-book
series by best-selling author Terri Blackstock. Thelma and Wayne Owens
run a bed and breakfast in Cape Refuge, Georgia. They minister to the
seamen on the nearby docks and prisoners just out of nearby jails,
holding services in an old warehouse and taking many of the
"down-and-outers" into their home. They have two daughters: the dutiful
Morgan who is married to Jonathan, a fisherman, and helps them out at
the B & B, and Blair, the still-single town librarian, who
would be beautiful if it weren’t for the serious scar on the side of
her face. After a heated, public argument with his in-laws, Jonathan
discovers Thelma and Wayne murdered in the warehouse where they held
their church services. Considered the prime suspect, Jonathan is
arrested. Grief-stricken, Morgan and Blair launch their own
investigation to help Matthew Cade, the town’s young police chief, find
the real killer. Shady characters and a raft of suspects keep the plot
twisting and the suspense building as we learn not only who murdered
Thelma and Wayne, but also the secrets about their family’s past and
the true reason for Blair’s disfigurement.
