New series featuring Runners and Chasers, those who 'run' from the light at their time of death and those asked by the Lord to chase them. Interesting concept, and presented very well. Jack Carter is a private eye who is accosted in his office one day by a strange visitor, then immediately followed by another enigmatic visitor, who teaches Jack about what he has become involved with. Jack is skeptical at first, but he follows his heart and soon is on fire to serve the Lord. The rest of the book chronicles Jack's education and apprenticeship as he works toward full Chaser status, then follows him on his first few cases. Some nice subplots going on simultaneously make this book a good, but quick read. Having read several of the author's Jason Strong series, I feel the writing in this book is much better and fluid, with more depth to the characters.
