The Chase (2012)
To the FBI it's a cold case. To Kariss Walker it's a hot idea that could either reshape or ruin her writing career. And it's a burning mission to revisit an event she can never forget.
Five years ago, an unidentified little girl was found starved to death in the woods behind a Houston apartment complex. A TV news anchor at the time, Kariss reported on the terrifying case. Today, as a New York Times bestselling author, Kariss intends to turn the unsolved mystery into a suspense novel. Enlisting the help of FBI Special Agent Tigo Harris, Kariss succeeds in getting the case reopened. But the search for the dead girl's missing mother yields a discovery that plunges the partners into a witch's brew of danger.
The old crime lives on in more ways than either of them could ever imagine. Will Kariss's pursuit of her dream as a writer carry a deadly price tag? Drawing from a real-life cold case, bestselling novelist DiAnn Mills presents a taut collage of suspense, faith, and romance in The Chase.

--Endorsements
" Lost Boy No More is a riveting read—simply one of the most moving books I have read in some time. The sacrifices of the church in Sudan make our worst days seem benign."
Dr. Ergun Mehmet Caner
Author, Christian Jihad
Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia
" Lost Boy No More tells the powerful story of young men whose homeland has been ransacked and whose families have been destroyed in a genocidal and hate-filled campaign of terror. It is an account that will make you look differently at the world and the plight of those who yearn for liberty."
Dr. Richard Land, President
The Southern Baptist Convention's
Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
"During every holocaust, every genocide, every ethnic cleansing, the world squeezes its eyes shut and stops its ears. And ever after, it vows 'Never again!' It must not be so with the Body of Christ. Lost Boy No More is must-reading for Western Christians. May it open our eyes, bend our knees, and spread our arms wide to embrace our Sudanese brothers and sisters."
Brad Phillips
President, Persecution Project Foundation
"The heartrending stories of Lost Boy No More will stay with you for a long time. The boys of the Sudan had their childhood stolen from them and replaced with a nightmare. The stories will also fill you with hope, as they exemplify the resilience of the human spirit."
Congressman Tom Tancredo
Colorado's Sixth District Representative
