Pippa Hunnechurch scoffs at the idea that God cares about her future. So with economic hard times on the horizon, Pippa concludes she is on her own. Owning her own executive recruiting firm, her luck seems to improve when she nails down a plum assignment and teams up with a highly successful "headhunter," Marsha Morgan. Pippa's joy turns to confusion when Marsha drowns in what everyone assumes is a freak accident. As Pippa struggles on, she finds herself caught in a web of deceit-spun out of the harmless exaggerations that Marsha had put in the resumes of her most successful candidates. After another death-this one clearly not an accident-Pippa is in a terrible dilemma. If she cooperates with the police, she will ruin her own reputation and destroy the careers of four celebrated executives. If she remains silent, she will become the target of a ruthless murderer. But Pippa does have one ally. A genuine Christian soldier, who understands that in the midst of a battle to save her business, her reputation, and ultimately her life, Pippa needs most to put the Lord back in her life again.
