American journalist Susan Pardue's routine investigation of rumored tie-ins with drug or diamond trafficking at an exclusive school in France soon becomes a rescue mission. Her employer, Mark Ashley, has a personal stake in the project: His young cousin, who attends the school, has disappeared. In a terrifying quest across East and West Europe, she and Ashley, face a manipulative high financier in a race against bombs, terrorists and assassins. Here's what the critics say: Those who have visited Europe or the Balkans for a short vacation, or spent much of their lives working at this most interesting crossroads of the world, will find this intriguing book fascinating from both a historic and cultural as well as sociopolitical point of view. The author has clearly spent a long time in the area to be able to "paint" Europe and the Balkan scenery and drama with such accuracy! Paul H. Popov, President Door of Hope International A captivating, dynamic story that once started doesn't allow the reader to stop and leave his next reading for later. Its heroes come from different layers of the society and for them state borders mean nothing. Joseph P. Dimitrov, Academic Dean in the Evangelical Theological Institute for Higher Education in Sofia, Bulgaria
ST. ABIENT RUN is a totally engrossing freight train of a suspense, strife with political, moral and religious undertones. As believable characters, Susan and Mark are thrown into an international web of deceit where no one is beyond suspicion, not even each other. But Kendrick's first novel has a quality many thrillers do not: a struggle not only for survival in the physical world, but also the spiritual one. Faith is tested time and again, but redemption is always within reach. St. Abient is peopled with a cast of multi-cultural characters woven into a cohesive web that keeps the reader clinging to a thin thread of hope, and just when we think we have it all figured out, another strand is added to make us keep turning the pages. I wholeheartedly recommend this book as an exciting and uplifting read. Jacqueline Pelham, author of Under the Rose, and editor of the Suddenly anthology series.
