Edge of Truth by Janice Cantore

 

As a detective in the Long Beach Police Department’s violent crimes division, Lainie Jensen is no stranger to hard-to-crack cases and unusual disappearances, but then her sister Evie vanishes on a trip to Hawaii. After traveling there to look for her, Lainie quickly realizes her brother-in-law Stan is telling law enforcement a story that doesn’t appear to add up.

FBI special agent Ben Isaacs has spent six months collecting evidence to take down a money laundering operation. While his fellow agent Efren Gomez goes undercover to infiltrate the ring, Ben investigates those connected to it, including Stan Moffitt, who Ben believes could help lead to the criminal kingpin. Then Stan’s wife goes missing just days after Ben contacted her seeking information, and he knows there’s more to this case, especially when he loses contact with Efren and law enforcement comes up short in their search for him.

When Ben’s and Lainie’s investigations converge, Lainie’s not eager to work alongside Ben given their complicated history, but she’s willing to do so if it means figuring out what Stan knows and locating Evie. Soon, Lainie can’t deny Ben’s dedication to finding the truth or her growing admiration for him. And the more the two examine the evidence, the more they suspect Evie’s disappearance is tied to a highly publicized criminal case from Lainie’s past . . . and someone is playing a perilous game aimed at personal revenge.

My Review

I really enjoyed this book, there is action from the beginning to the end! Just when you think the answers are here and danger past, nope, there is more action.
This is Christian Suspense at its best. A read that I wanted answers, but didn't want to end so I could stay with these characters longer!
The author gives us missing people, presumed deceased, possible shark attacks, bodies, greed, and best a sweet romance.
People whom are above the law and will do anything to stay that way, and then those that have chosen a profession that vows to stop the evil ones!
You don't want to miss this one!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale House Publishers, and was not required to give a positive review.
