Teaser Tuesday

My teaser this week comes from the book The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris

Page 36: "She was an aid worker, killed by ex-RUF a week or so ago. That hardly seems a country at peace, General."

The Secret Keeper

One man's search for the truth in war-torn Sierra Leone, where the rules of civilized society don't apply...

Journalist Danny Kellerman receives an urgent letter from an ex-lover in Sierra Leone, where he once was a war correspondent. But it's already too late; she's been murdered in a roadside robbery. Danny returns to Freetown, where his investigation uncovers secrets that shed a shocking light on the woman he though he knew-and reveals a hidden truth that could destroy those in power. Trapped in the heart of a dangerous nation where he can trust no one, Danny is soon forced to choose between his integrity and the devastating consequences of speaking the truth.

Written with gritty and haunting realism and based on the author's first-hand experiences as a war correspondent in Africa, The Secret Keeper is a taut and powerful debut that reader's won't want to miss.

This week I'm reading :  Forget Me Not by Vicki Hinze. A crime thriller with some religious overtones:

From the back of the book:

"Crossroads Crisis Center owner Benjamin Brandt was a content man- in his faith, his work, and his family. Then in a flash, everything he loved was snatched away.  His wife and son were murdered, and grief stricken Ben lost faith.  Determination to find their killers keeps him going, but after three years of dead ends and torment, his hope is dying too. Why had he survived? He'd failed to protect his family. 

Now, a mysterious woman appears at Crossroads seeking answers and help-a victim who eerily resembles Ben's deceased wife, Susan. A woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except faith-and Susan's necklace.

The connections between the two women mount, exceeding coincidence, and to keep the truth hidden, someone is willing to kill. Finding out who and why turns Ben and the mysterious woman's situation from dangerous to deadly. Their only hope for survival is to work together, trust each other , and face whatever they discover head on, no matter how painful. But will that be enough to save their lives and health their tattered hearts?"
