I fell in love with Eva Baum, the novel's sassy, straight-talking, thoroughly modern narrator/sleuth. A terrific debut for the Phillips/Phillips team."
William G. Tapply author of ONE-WAY TICKET and GRAY GHOST

Houston PI Eva Baum knows how to find people, even if they don't want to be found.

Her newest client is Shade, a mentally ill, homeless artist, and he wants Eva to tackle a bizarre case. His ex-wife, Julie, may hold the key to revealing the identity of a vicious serial killer-known as Hacksaw-who tortured and mutilated underage prostitutes years ago and was never caught. When Shade asks Eva to find Julie, her new mission could turn this very cold case hot again.

Eva isn't the only one searching for Julie. A vicious Seattle mobster, a couple of unscrupulous federal officers, and possibly even the Hacksaw Murderer are keeping close tabs on Eva's progress. Eva is looking for Julie, the truth, perhaps even some justice and redemption, but all she can see at the end of this complicated trail is terror, blood, and death. What she cannot see coming is ultimate, devastating betrayal.

"HACKSAW has everything I want in a private eye novel: a brain-teasing mystery, heart-squeezing suspense, vicious villains and a detective truly worthy of this great story! Don't even open this book unless you're prepared to be up all night."
Austin S. Camacho, author of the Hannibal Jones mystery series

The story starts quietly with a simple job interview that turns out to be anything but simple. And you quickly find out that nothing and no one is as they seem. While not for the faint of heart, this gritty, unflinching, and complex tale is a must-read for horror/hard science fictions fans--and those who just like a terrifying tale, told well." Pauline Baird Jones, author of The Key

Attendance climbs. Giving climbs. Expectations climb. Of course a few problems crop up along the way, because, as with every other roller coaster, this one has a long and often scary downside. Even as your church continues to climb in every measurable statistic, you, the spiritual leader, may well find yourself in a virtual free-fall as you struggle over how to manage the impact this change will have on your congregation.

What can you, as a minister in a growing church, do to survive the pitfalls that lie around the corner? What can you do when the old ways no longer work?
