    • Plenty of hooks, and ironies to make it a good read!

      While some of the plot line is taken from and built up from a previous Alcorn book, (some of the characters are the same), he does mix a genuine murder mystery, with a Christian message, and an appeal to believe the Gospel. If you liked "Deadline", you'll like "Deception".
