The Breakthrough, the third book in the Precinct 11 trilogy by bestselling author Jerry Jenkins, is awesomely nerve wracking. Sequel to The Betrayal and The
Brotherhood, this novel unfolds a new drama
involving the police squad of Chicago’s Precinct 11.
As Jenkins fans have come to expect, the storyline does not
disappoint. It provides suspense, entertainment, believable characters—all the
while probing into issues of the heart, faith and ethics.
After going through one of life’s greatest tragedies, the
loss of his wife and young son, Chicago cop Boone Drake begins a new life with
a sweet new family and renewed faith. All is rosy and God seems to be pouring
out blessings when Boone suddenly finds himself again in the midst of
unfathomable tragedy—worse than his previous loss.
Boone’s faith is again tested. Will he trust God—no matter
what the outcome might be? Can he sit low and leave this heinous crime—a crime
that is poignantly personal and tormenting—in the hands of fellow detectives?
Shaken to the core, yet unable to shake off his detective
instincts, Boone is driven to help find the criminals—a trek that leads him to
unimaginable arenas of terror and darkness. He finds himself caught up in the
underworld of child trafficking.
The Breakthrough is more than just a good read. It is a masterpiece
of Christian fiction that unveils the atrocious realities surrounding child
abduction and the perverted greed that drives it.
The Breakthrough
comes out in September. Look for it in bookstores everywhere.
