Book Overview
or Something Much More Sinister?
After the Portland terrorist attack, the kidnapping of his daughter, and the domestic violence case that almost killed him, Portland Police Investigator Wayne Deetz and his wife Joanie escape for a long overdue vacation in Sedona, Arizona, to make some monumental career decisions. When Joanie's childhood friend, Suzanne, acts euphoric and distant, Deetz and Joanie become suspicious of her boyfriend, the beguiling millionaire artist Octavius Hunt.
The more Deetz and Joanie dig into Octavius's corrupt and scandalous past-and his shady partnership with Mayor Marsden Maddox and entrepreneur Timmy Kondore-the darker and more twisted Suzanne's reality becomes. When Wayne and Joanie dare to venture one step too far into Octavius's sinister world of drugs and pleasure to find answers, they find themselves square in the madman's crosshairs.

Reader Praise for Charm Artist
★★★★★ I love all of Creston Mapes books. They grab your attention from beginning to end. I finished it in one afternoon, because I was reading as fast as I could, to see what happened next. ★★★★★ What a great story! I couldn't tear myself away for long. What a small, scary glimpse into the reality of the evils of the world of drugs. And greed. And narcissism. This world needs Jesus SO BADLY and this book is a sobering reminder of that fact. ★★★★★ My favorite Mapes' book was Nobod, but not anymore. This is a great book and now my favorite. The detective and his wife are interesting people and both are smart. He is cop smart. Highly recommended. If you haven't read a Mapes's books my recommendation is to start with his first. ★★★★★ Once again Creston Mapes has authored a jewel. All of his books are spellbinding and hard to put down. I read this book in two days. It is a great book and I highly recommend it and ALL of his books. ★★★★★ It was like riding a rollercoaster in the library! The characters were brilliantly born in Creston's heart. Looking forward to more thrill rides.Customer Reviews
