Cries of Grief and Revenge Ring Out in the City of Portland

When tragedy strikes Portland's Pioneer Square, high school teacher Tyson Cooper races to the scene, only to find his beloved Kim lies among the fallen. Shattered and seething, Cooper vows vengeance against the 19-year-old suspect, Rogan Sneed, no matter what the cost.

Veteran police detective Wayne Deetz has nearly closed the book on his long career when he's handed the case of a lifetime. As Deetz peels back the layers of mystery surrounding the odd and belligerent Rogan Sneed, he finds himself and his family dragged into a vortex of threats and danger that will change their lives forever.

With Cooper bent on exacting justice outside the law and Rogan Sneed's sinister agenda threatening to unleash more chaos on the city, Deetz faces impossible choices that involve breaking his oath and protecting his family—at whatever the cost.

Step into the crosshairs of a city under siege in this explosive thriller where faith, family, and the law hang in the balance.

Reader Praise for Signs of Life

★★★★★ Another Homerun. I have read all of Creston's novels and never been disappointed. This new one is another homerun in my opinion. The story goes back and forth between the two main characters in a very unique way. I don't want to spoil anything but I will say that by the time you get about half way through the story it really is difficult to put it down. I loved it.

★★★★★ This was a great book. Faith-based thriller and very hard to put down. I've read several books by this author and they were all spellbinding. Well worth reading Mr. Mapes books!

★★★★★ Our Book Club Loved It! Creston has done it again! He draws you into the story with well-developed characters . . . I look forward to a sequel and other books from this author.

★★★★★ Creston Mapes has long been one of my favorite authors. I think this offering could be his best work ever.

★★★★★ Nail-biting adventure. Thank you Creston Mapes for another edge-of-my-seat, nail-biting story. Couldn't put it down!
