Closer Than Blood
The first time was easy. No one ever suspected the victim had been murdered. The crime long buried, the dark passions guiding the killer's hand are still alive. But the need for revenge cannot be denied. Only one person can stop the killing. Only one person can identify the killer. Only one person knows the face of death—is as close as the face in the mirror...
"Olsen will have you on the edge of your seat." — Lee Child
"A Twisted Faith:" a TRUE story!
In the early morning hours of December 26, 1997, a Bremerton, Wash., house went up in flames. In it was the shy, beloved minister's wife Dawn Hacheney. When the fire was extinguished, investigators found only her charred remains. Her husband Nick was visibly devastated by the loss. What investigators failed to note was that Dawn's lungs didn't contain smoke; she was dead before the fire began. So begins this true crime story that's unlike any other...
Gregg Olsen says he hopes A Twisted Faith sparks constructive and healing debate. "No matter what anyone thinks of the principal women in A Twisted Faith, it is my hope that their courage for speaking out is honored and incites others who have been victimized to come forward and share their stories," Olsen said of the case in which a pastor seduced several women in his church. "Evil always thrives in a dark place."
