West of Famous

Celebrity body double Martina Ramos wakes up in a nightmare, locked in the belly of a boat, far from the Miami spotlight, with no memory of how she got there and no one to trust. Her secret temp job, once fun and profitable, now makes her the perfect target. As masked captors issue chilling threats and a ransom clock ticks down, Martina must summon every ounce of faith and courage to survive. With her life hanging in the balance, Martina's only hope is to outwit her captors before time runs out. From the award-winning author of South of Justice comes a pulse-pounding Christian suspense novel where danger lurks on open water, secrets test the limits of loyalty, and hope is the only anchor in a storm of fear. Will Martina's faith be strong enough to guide her home? Perfect for fans of Terri Blackstock and Dani Pettrey, West of Famous delivers a gripping blend of high-stakes suspense, heartfelt faith, and the enduring power of hope. A finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Bronze award winner in the Royal Palm Literary Awards, a semi-finalist in the CLUE (Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller) Awards and the Kindle Book Awards, West of Famous is the third book in the Compass Crimes series. Set in Florida, this suspenseful crime story includes a community of people who live on their boats. Known as Loopers, this floating community is united through their love of boating and America's Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA). Paul and Caryn Frink, members of the AGLCA, hosted Joni on their boat Seeker during her research in Florida and later at a book signing on their boat in Norfolk, Virginia, at the AGLCA convention.
