Deadlocked

Gina Lindsey Mystery #1

by Virginia Ann Work

Gina Lindsey, a transplant from New York City and now a DEA agent residing in Spokane, Washington, discovers a clue from a drug bust that leads her to Ekalaka, Montana where her aunt and uncle ranch. She seeks to bring to light the mysterious disappearance of her uncle and also uncover the location and activities of a large drug cartel in the area. Faced with death at every turn, puzzled by the tactiturn response she receives from her relatives, and totally out of her comfort zone, Gina comes to the end of herself and almost her life in this fast-paced book as she seeks the key to her deadlocked heart. Chance McNeil is a young man on a mission: to find justice for the death of his brother, Stan at the hand of the drug cartel. The trail leads him to Ekalaka, MT where he goes undercover. Driven and deeply spiritual, Chance is more than meets the eye. But can he stand up against the guns, power, money which the drug cartels possess? Where is God when injustice occurs? Where does a person turn when everything is taken from them?Both Gina and Chance must look deep within to find the answers to their deadlocked problems, but time is against them and in the end they only have one thing going for them: faith. But will that be enough? Will Gina make the right choices in time to save fifteen lives? Will Chance find the answer he seeks before he is killed? Deadlocked not entertains, but also answers some of the deep questions of the human heart. What Gina learns from this experience will stay with you for a long time. This is not a story you want to miss.

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to give this a 3.5 rating but alas I was not given the choice. I really enjoyed this book! The beginning was a bit confusing but still had me in action from the very start and had me guessing as to who were the real "bad guys" the whole way. I came to care for the characters, especially the rugged Chance. :) Definitely a good read!
