Little do they know that they are about to become part of Haydon's next act. Time is running out and already the killer has spotted his next victim. Who will escape alive? What Others Have Said "Fatal Illusions is an engaging, fast-paced read with a captivating story line that grabs you from page one and doesn't let go. Highly recommended." -Mark Mynheir, homicide detective and author of The Night Watchman "An awesome ride!" -Rosey Dow, Christy Award-winning author of Reaping the Whirlwind "Adam Blumer tells a fast-paced story that weaves together a serial killer, a physically wounded pastor, and his spiritually wounded wife. The twists and turns will keep readers guessing." -Rick Acker, author of Dead Man's Rule and Blood Brothers "Magic in the hands of a diabolical madman proves deadly as he terrorizes a pastor's family. Will their faith vanish when they need it most? Set against the backdrop of Lake Superior's magnificent shores, Fatal Illusions is chilling, action-packed suspense that will keep readers moored right up until the very last page!" -Andrea Boeshaar, author and speaker "Adam Blumer's debut novel is compelling and riveting, with a cast of well-defined characters and a plot as tight and action-packed as any best-selling thriller on bookstore shelves today. Fatal Illusions contains enough twists to keep even Harry Houdini impossibly bound! I can't wait to see what else this author has up his sleeve!" -Thomas Phillips, author of Molech Prophecy "Every now and then I find an author whose voice I immediately fall in love with. Adam Blumer is one of those authors. In Fatal Illusions he weaves a tale so spellbinding and gripping I couldn't wait to turn the next page. With characters I could identify with, a killer who had me looking over my shoulder, and an ending full of twists and surprises . . . just like that, I'm an Adam Blumer fan!" -Mike Dellosso, author of Scream and Midnight Is My Time "Fatal Illusions is a heart-thumping novel that not only kept me flipping pages, but impressed me with the Christian values it portrayed. Mystery reading at its best!" -Bea Carlton, author of fifteen books Note: This is a clean Christian thriller. It does not contain profanity, vulgarity, or sexual content. It does contain a suspense story with overt faith elements and mild violence. Don't miss the sequel, The Tenth Plague, book 2 in the North Woods Chronicles, available from Kirkdale Press.

Excerpt: ... XI. THE LOSS OF THE "CONCEPTION." N the sixteenth century Portugal was a great naval power. Her flag was to be seen flying in every port in the world, and her colonies and possessions were very numerous and extensive. She had a flourishing settlement in India, upon the Malabar coast, the affairs of which were administered by a governor, who bore the title of Viceroy, and whose seat of government was at Goa. From this point missionaries proceeded into the interior, to spread, amid the swamps and jungles and sands of that vast country, the holy religion of Jesus. At that period the art of navigation was very imperfectly known; and not the least perilous portion of a missionary's enterprise was the voyage he must undertake before he could reach the scene of his labours. The records of the age are full of heroic actions performed by priests on their way to distant lands: of endurance under famine; of devotion during pestilence; of courage in shipwreck; of patience amid the thousand disasters with which their ocean course was beset. But few narratives of this class are more touching than the accounts we have received of the loss of the Portuguese ship "Conceptiou" in the year 1555, on board of which three Fathers of the Indian Mission had taken their passage. It is the duration of suffering, far more than its intensity, that tries the heart and courage of a man; and it is far more affecting, if it be less thrilling, to hear of calm and generous fortitude under lingering torture from starvation, thirst, heat, and disease, than of unshrinking boldness in the most terrible shipwreck that ever cost the lives of a crew. On the 22d of August, 1555, the " Conception," Captain Noluc, bound from Lisbon to Cochin, a port on the coast of Malabar, ran aground, at three o'...
