Small-town pastor Peter Andrews has a secret. His real name is Tony Stratton, and he's in the Witness Protection Program in rural Oklahoma. Waiting to testify against a ruthless drug lord in Detroit, he is learning to adapt to his new life and solving crimes with the help of the church secretary, Stephanie. In Blessed are the Hidden, Peter arrives to assume the pastorate of Oak Valley Community Church. The hit and run death of one of his parishioners leads to the discovery of long buried secrets in the town. Will Peter lay low like he is supposed to, or will the lure of the mystery draw him in? In Blessed are the Seekers, Peter's closest friend in Oak Valley finds that his father borrowed money from organized crime, with grave consequences for his family and the town. When the mob comes to town, will Peter be able to outsmart them before others get hurt?
