Publisher's summary

It begins with a single gunshot, and Bishop Lynn Peterson watches in horror as a good friend, who is a member of the New Orleans Saints, collapses on the street. When a medal the player wore - a medal Lynn had promised to return to the man's family - disappears, Lynn is thrust into a suspenseful and fast-moving journey through four assassinations, an attempt on her life, conflicts with a mysterious and ancient society, and a behind-the-scenes conspiracy that reaches all the way to the White House. The turbulent, unstoppable intrigue challenges Lynn mentally, physically, and spiritually as she engages in a desperate battle with an opponent who is just as determined to kill as Lynn is to stop him, even though she has no idea where - or who - he will strike next.

Well Done

I really enjoyed this book. Well written. Intriguing plot. I would pichase more from this author if available. A good clean fun read.

Good Read

It took a bit to get into but the story intrigued me. By the end, it was so cool, I was really glad I kept listening!

Excellent thriller

Enjoyed this Audible thriller /suspense. No romance. Twists and turns and surprises. Clean with a minimal religious thread. Very good story.

Weird

Really weird plot. I had to make myself finish the book, and then wished I hadn't.

Although I appreciated the overall cleanliness and lack of curse words in the book, and although I found the narration pretty good for the most part, I struggled to maintain interest throughout.

Surprisingly pleased

Once the story got going and I got over the mostly monotone narration, the plot and cast really held my attention. Finding a good clean read on the plus program has been a bit of a challenge but this one fit the bill.

Riveting story spanning two continents

The author crafts a detailed story of international intrigue, the White House, a female bishop, multiple murderers, and an evil man with multiple personas. There were lots of connecting threads that made for a compelling storyline, although it seemed the threads of connections were a bit over the top to believe.
Much of the story is set in the Balkans—which I really enjoyed, as I spent time there many years ago. I appreciated the author’s respect for their culture and quest for peace.
The narrator provided the storyline and characters with skill & I would definitely recommend this audible selection.
Sadly, I wish there were more audible plus selections available at this caliber.

Good story

Good story and good performance. Pay attention or you will get lost in the jumping around

Great book!

It was a good story, kept me interested throughout. It isn't one I would listen to again and again, and is light on spiritually and in some parts, plot. But all in all, it was a good listen.

outstanding

Too Long

I saw the reviews and thought I would try it .Story dragged on. I made myself finish it.
