—JERRY B. JENKINS, NOVELIST AND OWNER
OF THE CHRISTIAN WRITERS GUILD
“DiAnn Mills’s books never fail to delight. The Chase is one more winner. A spunky heroine, a sexy hero, authentic research, and a heart-wrenching, action-packed plot. Don’t miss it!”
—KAREN YOUNG,
AUTHOR OF LIE FOR ME
“The Chase is a riveting tale of a cold-case turned hot—sizzling hot with police drama, dynamic characters, and a story that will capture your heart. DiAnn Mills shows again why she’s one of the best storytellers around. Highly recommended!”
—MARK MYNHEIR, FORMER
HOMICIDE DETECTIVE AND AUTHOR
OF THE CORRUPTIBLE.
