A prominent abortion doctor is murdered in his own yard, the child of an abortion clinic worker is abducted, a "mystic" offers to help solve the crimes, and the children of a pro-life worker are missing. What do these crimes have in common? At the end of November Veil, Roger Shepperd, Christian Canadian Mounty, was contemplating a move which he has made when April Operation opens. However, his family has not yet joined him. That is probably just as well since Roger is never home and doesn't get much sleep while trying to solve the afore-mentioned cases. Roger's first big case in New Brunswick is one of the most baffling that he has ever had. As usual, Linda Hall's complicated plot twists keep the reader (and Roger!) guessing until the very end. This is another winning mystery in the RCMP series and it makes the character of Roger even more of a role model an example than before as he handles the explosive topic of abortion.

On the same day that Abortion provider Dr. Douglas Shanahan is shot dead at him home, the young daughter of Emma Knoll, the Shanahan Clinic manager disappears on her way home from school. With no evidence left behind in either case, Sergeant Roger Sheppard of the St. Matthews detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police realized that he is confronted with a premeditated, carefully planned kidnaping and homicide. A group calling themselves the Christian Freedom Life Army claims responsibility for both crimes. But who and where are they? It's a race against time and against odds, but as Roger pursues these Christian renegades, he is reminded that to be truly Christian means seeing people the way Jesus Does. Linda Hall is a polished and accomplished author whose two previous Sergeant Sheppard mysteries, August Gamble (0934998620, ...) and November Veil (093499868X, ...) are also very highly recommended for mystery buffs in general, and those hold a special appreciated for Christian mystery adventure fiction in particular.
