Christian readers drawn to clean, character-focused plots and narratives will find this work particularly engaging, says the author. The novel combines the investigative elements of classic detective fiction with an intimate examination of a character's dark past, and the story's emphasis on unraveling secrets and confronting manipulation suits audiences seeking a narrative that examines the psychological dimensions of crime and justice.
The plot follows Maylea Kanaka, a young woman of extraordinary beauty and magnetic allure. She arrives in Lubbock, Texas, one April day and disrupts the stable life of accountant Dillon West and his wife Nettie, a nutritionist married for fifteen years. Maylea's plans for Dillon initially appear benign, but by June he begins to recognize that her captivating appearance masks an inner ugliness so profound that he fears for his own safety and that of his ex-wife and son.
When murder shatters the illusion, the obvious suspect faces charges. Yet someone must undertake the task Dillon avoided from the start: investigating Maylea's past to expose the dark secrets driving her actions. The narrative builds tension through escalating psychological stakes, forcing characters to confront the web of manipulation that threatens their lives.
The paperback edition spans approximately 288 pages, providing readers with a substantial narrative experience. First published in July 2010, the novel represents an established entry in Johansen's body of work, demonstrating sustained reader interest over more than a decade.
The book is available for purchase on major platforms including Amazon, where it sells for $12.
Betty Johansen's portfolio of published books establishes her as a credible voice in the mystery genre. The novel's focus on psychological depth and the unraveling of hidden truths positions it as a compelling choice for readers who value suspense rooted in complex character dynamics.
