This novel is suspense. Here's the cover:
And here's the blurb:
Reverend John Archer used to be a good man.
He's spent his life serving the disadvantaged in his violent, gang-infested Chicago neighborhood, but when on a hot summer day he witnesses the gang execution of an upstanding fourteen-year-old boy, he's had it with turning the other cheek. He gives a statement to the police identifying the brutal gang leader who did the shooting.
Now he and his family are targets.
His wife wants them to run or for him to at least retract his statement, but Archer isn't backing down.
Archer's been spat on. He's been written off as a coward by the gangs, and in his heart of hearts he's often wondered if that's been true. But now that his family's life is on the line, he's ready to do anything to protect them. Anything.
