Drawing Fire by Janice Cantore, a retired police officer, loses no time in drawing the reader into the drama. What begins as a story of a serial killer stalking elderly women evolves into a complicated quest to locate the perpetrators of a 27 year old arson/murder case. Unfortunately, the people
Janice Cantore's experience in the police department makes this a very realistic drama. Faith is evident in Luke's changed lifestyle, and begs the question for Abby: can you follow an obsession such as a need for justice and still trust the outcome to God, or are the two mutually exclusive? Are some professions,like Abby's, so full of grit that they can't bring glory to the Lord, or is there a way to help others and in doing so, please God?
Warning: if you pick up this book, be aware it's the first in a series. Look for the next book in the Cold Case Justice series and more answers this spring.

There is a serial killer targeting elderly people in Long Beach , California. The investigation is headed up by Luke and Abby. There is a connection between the two that still haunts Abby . Will this investigation lead to solving the case of a fire that killed her parents? Will they be able to Stop
It's a race to try to keep one step ahead of the serial killer, but obstacles seem to keep getting in the way. The author is well versed in police proceedings and makes the story very believable. The characters work well together and I liked how they slowly began to trust each other as the story continued. It's nice to read a story with strong characters, scenes that are riveting and details that are precise.
This is another power packed adventure from an author that always delivers the best in suspense. I could not put this book down from the moment I read the first page. It grabs you from the beginning and brings you to a heart pounding ending that you won't soon forget.

I like a good suspenseful book that I can feel myself getting drawn into. This book did that. I could feel like I was a part of the book and was there when the scenes were taking place. I can also relate to feeling like things are personal and wanting to put more into it for that reason.
