Amanda (Amy) Griffin was presumed dead after the vicious attack that killed her boyfriend in New York City. Her sisters, Marie and Tracey, have never recovered from the loss. At the revelation that the father they never knew has acknowledged them in his will and left them a fortune, scandal and media attention erupt into their quiet lives - and Amy is forced out of the shadows to protect her family from the danger she's made an art of escaping.

She ran to keep them safe and stayed gone because it was the only way. But three honorable men, all cops, have entered the lives of the Griffin sisters. Chief of Police Luke Granger makes Amy start to believe that she can come in from the cold and finally lay the past to rest. But before that can happen, they'll have to neutralize the mob boss who's been hounding Amy for eight years. A pair of brutal murders raises the stakes and charges an already deadly situation with the mystery of a dark family secret. Only a steadfast faith in love, and a deep connection with God, will help the Griffin women through the worst ordeal they've ever faced.

If you think the term "inspirational romance" means soft, sweet and boring, think again. Dee Henderson has made her name synonymous with hard-edged thrillers that have a warm spirit at the heart of them. Her characters care deeply and work intelligently to solve the taut, twisty mysteries Henderson sets for them. In THE WITNESS, the action explodes from the first page, and despite occasionally awkward dialogue, the novel is compulsively readable and very satisfying. If you've never gone for inspirational romance before, make this your first.
