"Jesus talked about false prophets who'd come in sheep's clothing, but inwardly were ravenous wolves. Paul warned Christians in Ephesus in a similar way about false teachers who’d come in like vicious wolves, not sparing the flock. And he wasn't talking about outsiders, either. Because he said, even from among your own group."
So, I’ve been a Dan Walsh fan for some time. The Reunion and The Unfinished Gift…sooo good.
His mysteries: Jack Turner Suspense series (Remembering Dresden — my absolute favorite) were enjoyable, and the newest for me, Joe Boyd Suspense books are terrific.
Through gentle faith/gospel/theology inclusions in his books I’ve no doubt of Mr. Walsh's deep relationship with The Lord. In this one he tackles a tough subject…when our church leaders are wolves in sheep's clothing, surrounded by a cold case murder mystery . Wow, did this pack a punch.

Jack Turner’s dog unearths the skeletal remains of a human hand. After calling it in to the police station, and to keep their vacations from being hijacked, Lieutenant Joe Boyd encourages his police chief to trust Joe's partner (Hank Turner) to take lead in this case. Plus this gives Hank a chance to earn some self-reliance in his own investigative abilities.
The cold case was an unsolved mystery of a convenience store being robbed and the disappearance of the teenage clerk back in 1988. For decades it was only speculated that the boy stole the money then left forever, or it was a case of armed robbery ending in the boy's death, with evidence being hidden. Well, the buried remains decades later proved the latter theory true.
Oh, but that was only the tip of the investigating, and of corruption uncovered.
I can’t wait to get into the third book in this series, Scandal of Mercy.
