True Courage (Uncommon Heroes) - Hardcover

Someone snatched his cousin's wife and son. FBI agent Luke Falcon is searching for a kidnapper and sorting out the crime. He's afraid a stalker is responsible. He's afraid they're already dead. And he'll do anything required to get them back alive ... but he didn't plan on falling in love with the only witness.

“Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” –FBI Motto

FBI agent Luke Falcon has a dead woman on his hands, a fresh victim from his old adversary, Frank Hardin. This time, Frank won’t walk away. But even that case will have to wait when Luke’s extended family disappears over Labor Day weekend. Is there a harmless explanation? Or could they have been victims of a sordid crime?

Fifth-grade teacher Caroline Lane cares deeply for Luke, but she’s not certain she can handle the pressures of dating someone in his line of work. When foul play strikes his family, she gets a far closer view of those pressures than she ever wanted. She’s grateful that God brought Luke into her life. But will they share anything more than tragedy by the time the storm passes?

Luke has never worked a case involving family. It’s tempting to let his hardened exterior weaken, given the circumstances. But he has to be strong if he’s going to bring them all home. When the ransom delivery doesn’t go down as planned and the bodies start piling up, so does Luke’s frustration. He fears that innocent people may not survive this crisis...and neither will his relationship with Caroline.

Story Behind the Book

Dee was inspired to write True Courage because she wanted to find out how Christians would react when a sudden storm of life appeared, and either their lives were built on a rock and could withstand the storm or their foundations were in sand and were shaken by events. Dee hopes that readers simply enjoy a page-turning story that honors God. But under that she wants Christians to look again at why they believe and how that truth impacts daily life during times of stress. And she wants those who don’t know Jesus to find Him to be relevant to today and nonthreatening to check out.
