First Line Friday — Fatal Finale

4 Sep

Happy Friday! I am excited to feature Fatal Finale by Nancy Mehl this week. The third and final book in the Erin Delaney Mysteries series is just what this suspense-loving gal is looking for! The series follows policewoman turned author, Erin Delaney as she navigates a new life, and of course dangerous situations. 😉 In each book she is joined by Kaely Quinn, a great character from the author’s Kaely Quinn Profiler series. If you haven’t read either of the series, then begin with Mind Games — you will have 6 fabulous books to binge this fall!

Here’s the first line:

Kaely’s eyes fluttered open, and she tried to focus on her surroundings.

They’d started back to the house when they heard a male voice behind them. Then a shot rang out.
“Run!” Kaely said. 

When bestselling author Erin Delaney’s novel gets picked up for a movie deal, she eagerly awaits her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter’s arrival in Tennessee before they head to California to observe the film’s production. However, when Kaely does not arrive at the scheduled time and Erin can’t reach her by phone, her concern grows. 

A cryptic phone call from Kaely’s kidnapper confirms Erin’s worst fear–she has exactly six days to save her friend’s life by solving his twisted clues. The message comes with a warning: Contact the police or FBI, and Kaely dies. But Erin works for the Sanctuary Police Department, and Kaely’s husband is with the FBI, putting her in an impossible situation. As Erin races against time, she’s forced to crack the kidnapper’s chilling puzzle before it’s too late.

Nancy Mehl delivers thrills like no one else in the closure of her high-stakes Christian romantic suspense series full of action, investigations, cryptic clues, and dangerous threats. This promises to captivate fans of Criminal Minds, Lynette Eason, Colleen Coble, Irene Hannon, Susan May Warren, and Elizabeth Goddard.

Nancy Mehl lives in Missouri, with her husband Norman, and her puggle, Watson. She’s authored over fifty books and is currently at work on a new FBI suspense series for Bethany House Publishing.

All of Nancy’s novels have an added touch – something for your spirit as well as your soul. “I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing,” Nancy says. “It’s a part of me and of everything I think or do. God is number one in my life. I wouldn’t be writing at all if I didn’t believe that this is what He’s called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan especially for your life, and there is nothing you can’t overcome with His help.”
