Page turning suspense with characters that will touch your heart

Even in the Darkness is a perfect combination of wonderful characters and suspense that doesn't let up. That's a hard balance to keep and Shirlee McCoy does a great job. Tori Riley has been through much pain in her life. She's been let down too many times in her past by men, and to her understanding, by God too. So she believes that the only person she can trust is herself. When she travels to Thailand to visit her biological daughter Melody, and Melody's adoptive parents, Tori unknowingly puts all of them in danger when she innocently purchases a rosewood box for Melody as a gift. What she soon learns out is that there is a drug lord who will do anything to get his hands on this box. Noah Stone is a retired DEA agent who comes back to Thailand as a favor to a friend. His knowledge of the area is vital to bring down a major drug ring in the area. Noah also knows God has called him there for a reason. When he rescues Tori and she leads him to the box, he is uncertain of her motives. Is she really a drug runner as the DEA suspects? When the stakes are raised even higher, Tori is forced to rely on Noah to help save Melody's life. Will he let her down as so many other men have? As Tori begins to trust Noah, she also realizes that maybe it wasn't God who abandoned her. Could God still love her and answer her prayers, even after she turned her back on Him?
