Gripped by Fear

Gripped by Fear, the second book in the Chicago Warriors series by John Wills

Pete Shannon and Marilyn Benson find themselves working their biggest case yet in their new role as Chicago Police Detectives.  In this second book of the Chicago Warrior Thriller Series, a madman has inexplicably targeted women who labor as office cleaners in downtown Chicago, sexually assaulting them as they travel to and from their job.

As the number of victims begins to mount, the two investigators are pressured by their boss to solve this horrendous crime pattern. Local community organizations soon stage protest rallies at City Hall, convincing the media that the city has become “gripped by fear”  as a result of the rapes.  The Mayor demands quick action by the Police Superintendent to end this reign of terror.  The heat is on, as summer in Chicago begins to sizzle, forcing the two detectives to put their lives on the line as they attempt to capture this demon of the darkness.

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....and in the dramatic climax  Marilyn’s Christian faith plays a major role in saving her life.
