During Garrett Addison’s first week on the
job as a criminal investigator for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, his
team is called out to a murder scene of a young girl. She’s just one in a
string of disappearances with a single thing in common—a Polaroid photo of each
victim left behind at the crime scene.
The FBI is pulled into the
case to help, and Garrett finds himself working with Special Agent Jordan
Lambert, the woman he once loved. When yet another girl dies, Garrett blames
himself and believes he doesn’t have what it takes to be an agent. What he’ll
discover is that, while he may be done with the killer, the killer is not done
with him—or Jordan.
Fans
of the Nikki Boyd Files will
thrill to finally discover what actually happened to Nikki’s sister, Sarah. New
readers will become instant fans after devouring this chilling tale.
Welcome back, Lisa. Can you please tell us about your new book?
Garrett
Addison’s first case as a criminal investigator for the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation is the murder of a young girl, which is quickly tied to a string
of disappearances and a possible serial killer. Special Agent Jordan Lambert, a
woman Garrett once loved, joins the case, but another girl is killed and they
are unable to find the elusive killer. With a string of murders now spanning
over a decade, the case will push those involved to their limits as they search
for the truth. Readers who enjoyed the Nikki Boyd Files will be happy to see
several appearances of Nikki in the book, from before she became involved in
law enforcement to the final showdown and revelation of what happened to her
sister, as well as her and Tyler Grant’s relationship.
How did you come up with the plot for Vanishing Point?
After
writing the Nikki Boyd series, my publisher asked that I write a fourth book
that would tie up the series—in particular the story line of what happened to
Nikki Boyd’s sister, Sarah, who disappeared over a decade ago. I loved the
chance to spend the pages of an entire book telling her story along with the
other girls who were victims of the Angel Abductor.
How did you choose the setting for your novel?
Since this
book is tied closely to the Nikki Boyd Files, I kept this fourth novel set in Tennessee as well since
that is where Sarah and the other girls vanished.
What was the most interesting thing you learned while doing
research for your book?
In many ways
it was a heartbreaking story to write. Because of this I worked hard to ensure
readers are given a satisfying story that completely wraps up the series. While
I normally do not like stories about serial killers—and, honestly, avoid
them—this is more than just a book about the Angel Abductor. It’s about
relationships, loss, and how God is still right there in the midst of tragedy.
Research on
serial killers was actually very interesting. And especially the fact that most
are not like Hollywood ’s
stereotypes.
What lesson(s) do you hope readers will take away from
reading Vanishing Point?
One of the main questions asked in the novel is, where is God
when tragedy strikes? It’s a question both Garrett and Jordan struggle with
throughout the book. In the end, they come to the same conclusion that I pray
my readers will come to. Just because God doesn’t intervene in a situation doesn’t mean he isn’t there.
In fact, he is there, but he has decided not to just sweep down and fix our
problems every time something goes wrong. Instead he chose to redeem us
eternally by sending his Son.
What are you working on next?
I’m
currently working on a brand-new stand-alone for Revell that will come out in
2018. It’s another fast-paced suspense novel that deals with hackers and a
secret worth dying for.
I’m eager to feature that book, too, when it comes out. How
can readers connect with you?
