This is a Christian Fiction Crime Thriller that left me eager to read on. It's a story that dives deep into the big questions of life: life, death, faith, and decisions about what really matters and happens in the end.

Jake Woods is a journalist with a very liberal view that he's unafraid to voice in his general column. He survives a horrific car wreck that killed two of his closest friends—guys he has known since childhood. As he tries to cope with the loss he finds out it may not have been an accident. He wastes no time investigating. What unfolds is a murder mystery wrapped in grief, purpose, justice, heaven and hell. This makes Jake take an unexpected look into his own life, values and beliefs.

We get a biblical interpretation of the afterlife of Jake's two friends who passed on. One in heaven, the other, unfortunately, in hell.

This book has strong conservative overtones and addresses some of the dark recesses of human behavior. It will truly make one think and reflect.

If you like a good Christian Thriller, that will take you on a soul-searching journey, then don't miss this book. However, if you are put off by conservative overtones, then this book is probably not for you.

Christian Fiction, Crime Thriller, and Suspense Fans.

Sometimes the descriptions went on a bit too long.
