In the second John Wills’ Chicago Warriors series novel, Gripped by Fear takes you to the heart and soul of the Chicago undercover police force. Pete Shannon and Marilyn Benson go undercover to catch a serial rapist who targets women office cleaners who work late and travel public transportation at night when few are around to witness. Word spreads fast and office cleaners are panic stricken. The rapist must be stopped so women can travel to and from their jobs safely and before any more victims are found.
John Wills takes you through the gritty streets of Chicago. All senses are in overdrive, taking note of every movement, every sound, things out of place – details only a veteran of law enforcement could provide. The excitement of catching the rapist is equally matched with the story of the relations of the officers with their partners and coworkers. They are heroes that put themselves in the line of fire and are also human with tension among fellow officers; people with issues in personal relationships; people that struggle with day-to-day life.
Woven through this police thriller is an inspirational message of faith. Saint Michael is called upon to protect the officers while in harm’s way. Their faith remains strong to help guide them, heal relationships and provide the strength to get through each day, whatever it brings. The result is manifested in the compassion given to the victims of violence and the way they handle tough situations with honor.
Gripped by Fear is a great read and a book you won’t want to miss.

Sounds like a good read. Since it's a local connection for me I'll see if my local book shop has one. :)
