Danger in The Shadows

My church just had a ladies night where we discussed the book Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson.  Apparently it is a prequel to a series written by Henderson.  I had not read that series but I had read a couple by this author.

The book caught my interest from the very start.  Sara was a victim of a kidnapping in her childhood that resulted in her twin sister's death.  Now she is in witness protection.   She has successfully shut out most people from her life but she can't get rid of Adam Black quite so easy.


From Library Journal

Reclusive author Sara Walsh hides from the public for a reason. As a child, she was kidnapped (with her twin sister, Kim) and locked in a root cellar for nine days. Their father, a diplomat, balked at paying the ransom, and Kim died on the eighth day. Twenty-five years later, one of the kidnappers, who remains frustratingly elusive, regularly torments Sara by sending momentos of their time together. Sara is locked in a gilded cage, and the potential key, retired football player Adam Black, may be too explosive for a life lived in shadow, but he is convinced Sara is the answer to his prayers. 

I really enjoyed the book and read it quickly---it was hard to put down!  We had a great discussion centered mostly around what fear can do to a person.
