Gripped By Fear by John M. Wills

By Joe Moore |
gripped-fear.jpgChicago Police Detectives Pete Shannon and Marilyn Benson are thrust into the limelight when their first major investigation turns the city upside down. A madman is on the loose, attacking women who travel downtown to clean offices. As the number of attacks continues to mount, the detectives find themselves pressured by their boss to end this reign of terror committed by a psychopathic rapist.

The community becomes outraged and protests at City Hall, causing the Mayor to demand action by his police department. In the midst of it all, Marilyn learns some disturbing news that forces her to choose between her loyalty to Pete and the man she loves.

"Once again John Wills delivers a nitty-gritty true-to-life "you can taste the atmosphere" story about the life of police officers on the often violent streets of Chicago. Captured in the language and with a feel that only a cop from Chicago can deliver, "Gripped By Fear", second in the Chicago Warrior series, reveals some of the heroism, fears, motivation and courage cops everywhere can relate to." -- Frank Borelli, Editor-In-Chief, Officer.com

wills-john.jpgGripped By Fear, the second novel in the Chicago Warrior thriller series, finds John Wills doing what he does best--writing exciting police action/drama from a Christian perspective. His 33 years in law enforcement give him great insight into the police world. He is at work on his third book, continuing along the same theme.
