Second Chance: A Constable Riley Mystery
When Faith and Fraud Collide
Constable Elwood Riley thought he'd found peace in small-town Bell, Kentucky—married to his childhood sweetheart, serving his community despite battling early Parkinson's. But when sharp-eyed neighbor Mrs. Garvey discovers an online romance scammer targeting Bell's widows, Elwood finds himself investigating a case that will shatter everything he believes about justice and redemption.
In a town where widows become intelligence operatives and victim becomes volunteer, the greatest mystery isn't who committed the crime. It's whether authentic faith sometimes requires breaking human rules to follow divine commands—and whether a community's grace can transform federal criminals into redeemed servants.
Do some sins serve salvation? Do dome crimes heal souls? Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is choose mercy over justice.
When doing right requires doing wrong first, how far will faith take you?
"A Christian mystery-thriller that explores the dangerous territory where law meets grace, perfect for readers who aren't afraid to wrestle with uncomfortable questions about what it really means to love your neighbor as yourself."
