Unspoken
Charlotte Graham ushers Bryce Bishop, a collectible-coin dealer in Chicago, into her newly renovated coin shop right next door, threatening more competition than he can handle. But then she makes him an offer he can’t refuse. She won’t open her shop if he buys her inventory. It turns out she is unimaginably wealthy and anxious to dispose of the coins she inherited. Charlotte has a past she wants to forget: kidnapped at 16, she was held captive for four years and subjected to unspeakable things. Eighteen years later, she still rejects God because he didn’t save her. Meanwhile, police homicide investigator Ann Silver and Paul Falcon of the FBI, featured in Henderson’s Full Disclosure (2012), are investigating a cold case involving a baby boy who was kidnapped and killed. While intricate details about collectible coins and charitable giving make Henderson’s latest inspirational thriller curiously slow moving, Bryce’s faith is abundantly clear as he tries to bring Charlotte back to God. --Diana Tixier Herald
