Staying together had seemed impossible. Now it's their only hope. A dark shadow of fear has fallen over Newpointe, Louisiana. First one, then another of the town firemen's wives has been murdered, and a third has barely escaped an attempt on her life. Incredible as it seems, a serial killer is stalking this sleepy little southern community. And Mark Branning's wife may be next on the list. Mark is determined to protect her. But keeping Allie alive won't be easy—not with their marriage already dying a bitter death. Unless they renew their commitment to each other and to God, someone else may settle their problems ... permanently. And time to decide is running out. "This tense and exciting thriller is more than a fabulous read; it has an underlying message about the place of religion within a marriage. Highly recommended."—Library Journal Private Justice is book one in the Newpointe 911 series by award-winning novelist Terri Blackstock.

      Who is killing firemen's wives in Newpointe, Louisiana, and why? Solving crimes from a Christian perspective involves just as much excitement as in secular thrillers, and the various relationships in the small Southern town often present complexities richer than those in traditional whodunits. John McDonough's rough grandfatherly voice can turn surprisingly soft and sensitive as he explores the tender sides of athletes and housewives, criminals and crime-stoppers. They never simper, and sometimes sparkle, and his feminine characters carry the story. Another surprise is McDonough's facility for the Cajun dialect he sprinkles lightly through the performance. As a skilled narrator, he maintains a lively and varied pace from start to finish without overdoing regionalism or religion. R.P.L. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

      Another winner from Blackstock. It is the week of Mardi Gras in the Louisiana town of Newpointe, and the whole town is celebrating. Then horrible news arrives: Martha Dwyer, the wife of a firefighter, has been found murdered, shot through the head, her body set on fire. The townspeople's shock soon turns to horror when yet another firefighter's wife is found murdered in a similar fashion. By the time a third wife is attacked, it has become clear that a serial killer is at work. Firefighter Mark Branning is terrified, especially since he and his wife are estranged. Realizing that Allie may be the next victim, Mark convinces his reluctant wife to leave town with him. Unfortunately, this action does not stop the killer. This tense and exciting thriller is more than a fabulous read; it has an underlying message about the place of religion within a marriage. Highly recommended.
