Please Help a Friend!

A very sweet friend lost her husband last week to a heart attack. I had the privilege to pal around with Sara at last year's ACFW conference. She's one of the most vivacious people I've ever met. I can't even imagine what she and her three children are going through. Such a loss...a husband and a dad.

Sara Mills is also the author of an amazing series set in the 1940s about a female PI. Kind of a Film Noir feel to it. Take a look at these awesome stories and if you like what you read, support this wonderful friend and author by purchasing one or both of her books.

In 1947 Allie Fortune is the only female private investigator in New York City, but she's kept awake at night by a mystery of her own: her fianci disappeared in the war and no one knows if he's still alive. Until Allie finds out, she will have no peace. When there's a knock on her office door at four in the morning, Allie suspects trouble as usual, and Mary Gordon is no exception. Mary claims someone is following her, that her apartment has been ransacked, and that she's been shot at, but she has no idea why any of this is happening. Allie takes the case, and in the process discovers an international mystery that puts her own life in danger.Meanwhile, the FBI is working the case as well, and she is partnered up with an attractive, single agent who would be perfect for her under other circumstances-if only she knew whether her fiancee was still alive.

A child finds important documents that everyone in the city - Soviets and allies alike - want for themselves.

Through the course of the search, Allie's past is brought back to her, half a world away from home.
