    International Retrieval Organization Agent Lela Ortiz is assigned the kidnapping case of businessman, Chuck Davenport. When her boss allows Chuck’s brother-in-law to assist, Lela accepts the help with reservations, especially when Jay Vashon, prays to God at the most inopportune times.

    And what of Chuck? Can the pair locate him before the ransom deadline?

    Valerie caught my attention right from the beginning of the book and kept it to the end. I enjoyed the story and was intrigued to see where it was going. Her characters were believable and easy to relate to. I look forward to seeing what she does with her next book. She has an easygoing way of writing which I enjoy. My granddaughters love her books too and can’t wait to read this one. Well done Valerie! Ramona - PBG Booklover
