All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid it.
Former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor John Cross is busy caring for the small community of believers he ministers to in Virginia. Journalist Christine Lewis is busy with the demand for her talents from top news agencies in New York City. Neither has any time left for their relationship, which began eight months before when they paired up to prevent the detonation of a chemical bomb in the nation's capital.
But when Christine hears that her stepbrother has been arrested for murder in Texas, they team up again to discover the truth about the crime. Untangling a web of conspiracy, the couple finds themselves in the center of another dangerous situation-and in trouble far deeper than they expected.
With an assassin on the loose, a trusted colleague acting as a double agent, and unreliable artificial intelligence connected to mercenaries who have Cross on their hit list, these two may not get out of the Lone Star State alive.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
|
“In the tradition of Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, Cross Shadow is a strong, taut thriller that retains a Christian sense of optimism and hope while acknowledging the existence of great evil in the world. Huff raises the stakes on every page all the way through the white-knuckle finale—like watching an action movie through the written word.”
~ Kyle Mann, editor in chief of The Babylon Bee and author of How to Be a Perfect Christian |
“Andrew Huff’s writing is as fast-paced and tight as his enticing story lines. Masterfully balancing a well-developed plot with a cast of characters you feel like you’ve known forever, Huff creates one page-turner after another in his Shepherd Suspense trilogy. He may be a new author, but his talented word-spinning is anything but novice and will linger long in the reader’s subconscious.”
~ Betsy St. Amant Haddox, author of All’s Fair in Love and Cupcakes |
My Review
The stakes are higher than ever in Dallas...
Once again author Andrew Huff delivers a rip-roaring thriller that will leave you gasping and your pulse pounding. Both John Cross and Christine Lewis are back, and, yet again, they will have to try and trust each other as they dodge both bad guys and the law. Betrayal is just around the corner and flying bullets are only a breath away. But, this is pretty much everyday stuff for the small-town preacher and the big city reporter.
I've been looking forward to Cross Shadow since reading the first Shepherd Suspense Novel last fall. While action thrillers are not my movie of choice I do like to read the occasional well written book. And, Cross Shadow IS well written. Andrew Huff keeps up the breakneck pace of the action all while his characters grapple with some tough questions.
I read this book in pretty short order. I couldn't put it down. Like John and Christine I HAD to know the truth. Did her brother really commit murder? What about the shadowy company he worked for and what are they hiding? What will happen to John and Christine? Can they survive intact?
I really enjoyed Cross Shadow. Andrew Huff more than kept me engaged and anxiously turning the pages of this action thriller. Though the ending was a little bittersweet, the promise of more to come in next Shepherd Suspense Novel contented me.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Cross Shadow by Andrew Huff a 4 Bark rating.
