The plot of Traces of Discernment weaves back and forth through the lives of its characters as suspense builds to a stirring climactic end. As events escalate in Tampa, Florida, those who love to learn while being entertained will be introduced into the world of criminal investigation. Techniques utilized at suspected satanic crime scenes, interrogations, and other related events are smoothly exposed to demonstrate methods in solving complicated cases. My threefold goal as an author is to so enthrall readers into the fictional mystery that they hardly notice that investigative skills and Christian philosophy have been presented. May this book bring blessings and enjoyment to all.
