"It had almost become a matter of pride that he never let his work intrude in his personal life."
But that was before Detective Harvey Larson interviewed Jennifer Wainthrop. As one of the computer software designers at Coastal Technology, Jennifer knew the man that been declared missing, and Harvey needed to gather any pertinent information that she could give him. He hardly expected one quiet conversation to make such a lasting impression.
Jennifer Wainthrop wonders whether or not the new software project that she has been assigned to is capable of infiltrating high level security. The partners have certainly been secretive about a lot of the details, especially after one of the program's premier designer's disappears. "Why did (Detective) Larson inspire calm and hope in her, when Owen and Channing's (firm partners) speeches to employees only fuel speculation and dread . . .. ?"
As Harvey and Jennifer brave the idea of a personal connection, it becomes apparent that the missing persons case is larger and broader than originally implied; and while their sincere investigation of faith and a future is endearing, a cloud of doom precariously hovers overhead.
This is not only an interesting crime novel, but the characters' intentional determination to discover whether or not God is "real", and how their acceptance or denial of that fact might influence the rest of their lives, is beautifully displayed through-out this story.
