On a chill November pre-dawn morning a sniper's bullet finds its mark-the head of a homeless woman. Mavis is the third victim in as many days. Small town detectives, Tony Petrocelli and Michelle Baxter are called to the scene by a patrol officer. Like the other killings in the previous days no one heard the shot. One homeless camper's dog alerted to a distant tree before Mavis was killed. A search of the area confirmed someone had used a large branch as a sniper's perch, but no casing for the fatal round was located. Autopsies of the three reveal one of the victims, Jason, was a Vietnam vet who had his leg repaired at Letterman hospital. But Jason changed his last name after leaving the military. What caused him to be homeless is a mystery. A bigger mystery for Petrocelli and Baxter is who is the invisible killer, and what motivates him to kill. The search for answers that can't be found threaten to make this case unsolved-unless the detectives find new evidence.

To save his daughter, Tony must come up with a daring plan that puts him at odds with police policy and the advice of his colleagues. The chase ends in a confrontation where Tony's own life may be the price for Bri's freedom. Tony's only edge, a thin, single chance, a trick card he has to play without a mistake. Tricks. Frankie has one more up his sleeve. And it's going to be a killer....

Bob White has written a very entertaining memoir depicting his life that began during the great depression, which encompasses a most embarrassing blight on American History, racial discrimination and blatant bigotry. He relives the childhood memories of a father who died too soon, a victim of alcoholism; a mother raising four children alone, on relief (welfare); eating half-rotten food, and wearing old, discarded clothes. After reading of his fun-filled, yet sad and heart rending years that Bob endured growing up in a small, segregated mid-western town, you want to stand and cheer when he finally overcomes the many obstacles a racially-divided society constantly threw in his path. He ultimately succeeds in receiving recognition while travelling world-wide as a singer with the renowned vocal group, The Platters. He has also appeared in numerous movies and television shows and received acclaim as an award-winning artist. One can only commend him for weathering this societal storm and emerging victorious with no recriminations towards anyone - only a sincere appreciation for his few accomplishments and the life God has made possible for him to now enjoy.

The rundown apartment in a tough part of Los Angles wouldn't have been Elwin Hunter's first choice of a place to live, but God sent him there anyway. He reasoned it was no different from the command God gave Jonah. Go where the Lord sends you. It didn't matter that some of the occupants were drug dealers, some given to fits of selfish rage, or sold their body for food and drugs. Most of those Elwin met in that small apartment building never faced the decision the Good Samaritan made, never thought of others, only themselves. Could Freddie have a change of heart and cross the road to help someone, emulating the man from Samaria? Can Tiffany leave a life of drugs and prostitution? Will Jahleel turn to Jesus instead of hedonism? What will it take for Jorge to let go of his anger? When Elwin enters their lives, like it or not, they must choose. Of course, it won't be an easy choice for any of them. Lucifer does his best to keep them mired in depravity.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord, ' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Mt 7:21-23. Would Jesus give such a warning if there were no way to heed it? And if we should respond, can we have His assurance that when we come before Him at that narrow heavenly gate, He will know us? That was my desire. I prayed to know now that I will be known then. I began a search for a single verse I never needed to find. God's answer was far more clear and certain! If you desire to attain authentic, unshakable, undeniable, absolute, rock solid assurance of faith, you must ask of the Father, through His Spirit, in His Son's name. God's answer is given as we follow Christ, led by His Spirit. Only as we seek do we find. This is my search. I pray you will ask God to make it yours.
