About this listen
A father-son police duo battles demons in disguise.
In his final year behind the badge, beloved Portland Police Investigator Wayne Deetz, and his wife, Joanie, are shocked to learn their youngest son, Brandon, 23, has signed up to follow in Deetz’s footsteps, by joining the Portland Police Bureau - especially amid the city’s recent riots, violence, and cancel culture.
When Deetz goes back in uniform, to ride with Brandon during his field training, the father-son duo is dealt a harrowing, demonic case, involving an unlikely gunman, and a brash, corporate executive. As they interview witnesses, discover shocking new evidence, and dare to search for bones in locked closets, they learn not only are their lives in peril, but the devil is out for their loved ones.
Book five is the knockout punch in Creston’s pulse-pounding Signs of Life Series.

Story
Reporter Hudson Ambrose hears an early morning call on his police scanner about an injured person at a bus stop on Las Vegas Boulevard and rushes to the scene. His world is blown off its axis when he discovers a murdered homeless man with a bankbook in his pocket showing a balance of almost one million dollars. Should Hudson wait for the police, knowing the case will get lost in reams of red tape, or swipe the bankbook and take the investigation - and perhaps a chunk of the money - into his own hands?

It was more than a break-in. More than a stalking. It was personal. When a stalker targets his family, journalist Jack Crittendon must uncover who the person is and what his motives are - if he is to protect the ones he loves. It will lead Crittendon into a world of behind-closed-door secrets and faith gone awry, as does his investigation of a missing pastor, whose apparent suicide is more than it appears.

"I should have tried harder." Those final words are scrawled across a note that’s been pinned to a man's remains. Pulled to a crime scene in the middle of the night, Detective Marx struggles to unravel the mystery behind a message written by the victim. A suicide note...or an admission of guilt? Before he can discover the truth, what seems to be a random act of violence becomes something far more dangerous. With very little evidence and even less time, Detective Marx searches for the common thread between the victims, but his efforts might put him directly in the killer’s path.

Story
David Cobb is not a typical lawyer--he's more interested in dispensing God's wisdom than pertinent legal advice. High-stakes litigation is way outside his comfort zone. For many years, Zeke Caldwell has been concocting home remedies made from natural ingredients found in the coastal marshes near Wilmington, North Carolina. One of his remedies proved so effective that he patented it with the help of David's father. Now he suspects a big drug company has stolen his formula. What he doesn't know is that the theft has deeper, more evil roots.
