Chicago Police Officer Pete Shannon’s life
is about to take a dramatic turn. His wife has a dark secret that she’s about to reveal to him, his
partner’s life is about to be put in jeopardy, and worst of all one of his colleagues will present him with the biggest
challenge of his life. Fellow
officer, Marilyn Benson, doesn’t realize it yet, but her life is about to change in ways that she could never have imagined.
Forces of good and evil will do battle for her soul and her faith, which have lain dormant for many years.
Both officers’ physical and spiritual mettle will be put to the test as they work the graveyard shift on the
mean streets of the “Windy City.” Read this thrilling, Christian-themed novel that’s filled with stories of love, betrayal,
violence, despair and redemption, but most of all--exciting police action.
Chicago Police Detectives Pete Shannon and Marilyn
Benson are thrust into the limelight when their first major investigation turns the city upside down. A
madman is on the loose, attacking women who travel downtown to clean offices. As the number of attacks
continues to mount, the detectives find themselves pressured by their boss to end this reign of terror committed by a psychopathic
rapist.
The community becomes outraged and protests at City Hall, causing the Mayor to demand
action by his police department. In the midst of it all, Marilyn learns some disturbing news that forces
her to choose between her loyalty to Pete and the man she loves.

John,
My husband recently purchased your book
for me while you were signing autographs at The Orleans. I just now finished the book.
I truly liked the story line of the book. I have to say that
the ending, with a summary of what happened to the characters really finished the story for me.
Now I will be
purchasing the first book in the series and anxiously awaiting the next one in the series.
Thank you for the pleasant
reading experience.
God bless,
Carol J.
The second
in the Chicago Warriors series, Gripped by Fear is a not only a good mystery but also an exploration of the many challenges
faced by today’s law enforcement officers. It will be of special interest to readers who enjoy books
with a strong Christian theme.

John M. Wills, a veteran of thirty five years in law enforcement,
both as a Chicago Police Officer and FBI Agent, writes with a keen insight and deep understanding of the criminal justice
system. His police procedural novels are unique in that they are written on two contrasting levels--the gritty, often
times life threatening police incidents, and the many moral dilemmas faced by law enforcement officers in the pursuit
of their duties. In Gripped By Fear, the author has succeeded in creating police officers who are not amoral super
heroes, but decent human beings, doing their best under the most difficult of circumstances. Gripped By Fear is a great
read!
