Detection
BIG CITY CRIME. SMALL TOWN HEROES
A boy with no name.
Officer River Gaines walks in the footsteps of the cop who rescued him from the ocean and gave him a name—and a family to belong to. River and his K-9 partner, Kutter, work side-by-side finding people in Benson, but the fact he never remembered who he is has become a weight he never let go.
A girl with no future.
Search and Rescue handler Tessa Atkins is back from a dark FBI case she volunteered for in Arizona. Tessa and her dog Maverick live in Benson at the SAR training center during the warm Pacific Northwest months. But up in Washington she’s got to contend with her family, and their expectations, while she figures out what’s next.
After Tessa is caught in a deadly bombing, and a series of crimes target both their families, the FBI believes a threat from Arizona is coming. River is ordered to ensure Tessa’s safety and the safety of everyone at the Search and Rescue training center his father started after he quit the force.
When the attacks keep coming, these two will have to fight together for the future God has for them. Or see it all swept away.

Allyson –
Detection, which is the story of River Gaines and Tessa Atkins, drew me straight in from the beginning. This non stop, action packed novel has suspense, dogs, danger, romance, and intrigue. There may be a connection involving River’s dad, Tessa’s mom, and the Russians.
Tessa has a strained relationship with her mom because of an incident that occurred during Tessa’s childhood. She also struggled with completely trusting God and fully surrendering to Him.
River, who was adopted after being rescued as a kid, had his own struggles and fears because he didn’t know his actual name or who he was that he has to prove to people he’s good. Both of them also have decisions to make regarding their future.
Lisa Phillips always crafts a well written, multi-layered story that will keep you reading to the end. She also did an incredible job at the end of this novel.
