The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like
wraiths passing in the night. Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened
her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her
closet door and the faint glow of a street lamp through her front
window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl
as she tried to discern what had awakened her. Something was not
right . . . Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and
quiet---and comes face to face with evil. When neighbor Lisa Willet
is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff s detectives are left
with little evidence. Lisa s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but
she s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow
desperate. Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to
question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about
forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she
finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience
leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face
that doesn t exist. Leaving the real killer free to stalk the
neighborhood . . ."

But who will believe her? Everyone knows she s a little crazy.

she is going over the edge. High action and psychological suspense
collide in this story of terror, twists, and desperate faith. The
startling questions surrounding Kaycee pile high. Her descent to
answers may prove more than she can survive."

Something sinuous in the water brushed against Paige s knee. She
jerked her leg away. What was that? She rose to a sitting position,
groped around with her left hand. Fine wisps wound themselves
around her fingers. Hair? She yanked backward, but the tendrils
clung. Something solid bumped her wrist. Paige gasped. With one
frantic motion she shook her arm free, grabbed the side of the hot
tub, and heaved herself out. Paige Williams slips into her hot tub
in the blackness of night---and finds herself face to face with
death. Alone, terrified, fleeing a dark past, Paige must make an
unthinkable choice. In Violet Dawn, hurtling events and richly
drawn characters collide in a breathless story of murder, the need
to belong, and faith s first glimmer. One woman s secrets unleash
an entire town s pursuit, and the truth proves as elusive as the

She was washing dishes when her world began to blur. Chelsea Adams
hitched in a breath, her skin pebbling. She knew the dreaded sign
all too well. God was pushing a vision into her consciousness.
Black dots crowded her sight. She dropped a plate, heard it crack
against the porcelain sink. Her fingers fumbled for the faucet. The
hiss of water ceased. God, I don t want this. Please After
witnessing a shooting at a convenience store, forensic artist Annie
Kingston must draw a composite of the suspect. But before she can
begin, she hears that Chelsea Adams wants to meet with her---now.
Chelsea Adams---the woman who made national headlines with her
visions of murder. And this vision is by far the most chilling.
Chelsea and Annie soon find themselves snared in a terrifying
battle against time, greed, and a deadly opponent. If they tell the
police, will their story be believed? With the web of lies
thickening, and lives ultimately at stake, who will know enough to
stop the evil?"
All words fell away. I pushed myself off the path, noticing for the
first time the signs of earlier passage---the matted earth, broken
twigs. And I knew. My mouth turned cottony. I licked my lips, took
three halting steps. My maddening, visual brain churned out
pictures of colorless faces on a cold slab---Debbie Lille, victim
number one; Wanda Deminger, number three . . . He d been here.
Dragged this one right where I now stumbled. I d entered a crime
scene, and I could not bear to see what lay at the end. . . . This
is a story about evil. This is a story about God s power. A string
of murders terrorizes citizens in the Redding, California, area.
The serial killer is cunning, stealthy. Masked by day, unmasked by
night. Forensic artist Annie Kingston discovers the sixth body
practically in her own back yard. Is the location a taunt aimed at
her? One by one, Annie must draw the unknown victims for
identification. Dread mounts. Who will be taken next? Under a
crushing oppression, Annie and other Christians are driven to pray
for God s intervention as they ve never prayed before. With
page-turning intensity, Dead of Night dares to pry open the mind of
evil. Twisted actions can wreak havoc on earth, but the source of
wickedness lies beyond this world. Annie learns where the real
battle takes place---and that a Christian s authority through
prayer is the ultimate, unyielding weapon."

As I drew, the house felt eerie in its silence. . . . A strange
sense stole over me, as though Bland and I were two actors on
stage, our movements spotlighted, black emptiness between us. But
that darkness grew smaller as the space between us shrank. I did
not know if this sense was due to my immersion in Bland s face and
mind and world, or to my fear of his threatening presence. Or both
. . . The nerves between my shoulder blades began to tingle. Help
me, God. Please. For twenty years, a killer has eluded capture for
a brutal double murder. Now, forensic artist Annie Kingston has
agreed to draw the updated face of Bill Bland for the popular
television show American Fugitive. To do so, Annie must immerse
herself in Bland s traits and personality. A single habitual
expression could alter the way his face has aged. But as she
descends into his criminal mind and world, someone is determined to
stop her. At any cost. Annie s one hope is to complete the drawing
and pray it leads authorities to Bland---before Bland can get to
her. Brandilyn Collins is the bestselling author of Brink of Death,
Eyes of Elisha, and other novels. She and her family divide their
time between the California Bay Area and Coeur d Alene, Idaho.

child-the beatings, the neglect, and verbal abuse. Christina
doesn't know how to trust or be honest about her feelings. Being

sure to send her over the edge. With poignancy and humor, That Dog
Won't Hunt explores the complexities of relationships and the inner
strength needed to overcome a difficult childhood. The Dearings are
no perfect family, but they know how to love-if only Christina will
accept it.

The figure remained still as stone. Leslie couldn t even detect a
breath. Spider fingers teased the back of her neck. Leslie s feet
rooted to the pavement. She dropped her gaze to the driveway,
seeking what? Spatters of blood? Footprints? She saw nothing. Honed
through her recent coverage of crime scene evidence, the testimony
at last month s trial, the reporter in Leslie spewed warnings:
Notice everything, touch nothing. Leslie Williams hurries out to
her car on a typical workday morning---and discovers a dead body
inside. Why was the corpse left for her to find? And what is the
meaning of the message pinned to its chest? In Coral Moon, the
senseless murder of a beloved Kanner Lake citizen spirals the small
Idaho town into a terrifying glimpse of spiritual forces beyond our
world. What appears true seems impossible. Or is it?"
