In book 3 of the O'Malley series, we learn more about Lisa, the forensic pathologist in the family. She goes into the most gruesome crime scenes and handles the horror of the situation with professionalism and courage. With years of experience under her belt, she thinks she's immune to fear and disgust; she knows what she's doing.

Her brother Marcus works as a U.S. Marshall, as does his good friend Quinn Diamond. Quinn is a joker and a tease, and he's flirted with Lisa for a long time. She's not interested in a romance with Quinn, but knows he's always there if she needs him.

Quinn is haunted by a case that's twenty years old. A woman disappeared and Quinn wasn't able to track her down. He's not used to failure and the case has festered in the back of his mind, taunting him.

As the pieces in Lisa's case fall together, she and Quinn realize that they have been working on the same mystery from two different angles. Now Lisa is in danger and Quinn is the only person who can save her. At the same time, he wants to introduce her to God. She has seen Marcus, Kate and Jennifer convert, but she doesn't know why they made that choice. She deals with death all the time and can't comprehend that One came to break the bonds of that death.

Lisa's house is set on fire, a smoldering message from the killer. Quinn is determined to do whatever it takes to track him down; he's not going to lose twice.

As the danger grows closer and her relationship with Quinn takes on new meaning, Lisa finds out for herself what it means when Christ says, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."

With her trademark Christian teachings interwoven with breathtaking suspense, this is another Dee Henderson you will want to read again and again.
