I Pick You

There are some bad seeds you never want to meet.

A year from retirement and still reeling from daughter Leena’s kidnapping, Portland PD Detective Wayne Deetz is called upon to check on a domestic violence case. From the moment Deetz and his friend Callie Freeland show up to help Sunny Carlisle, they are blindsided by a lawless, toxic steamroller named Blaine Milligan. At a breakneck clip, things go from bad to worse as Callie is eerily stalked and her fiancé Tyson is lured into Blaine’s web of evil and madness. While the city of Portland is being burned and dismantled by rioters, Deetz must race against the clock to protect Sunny, Callie, and Tyson, and possibly even his own family.

With tension in every scene, Amazon number-one best-selling author Creston Mapes demonstrates why he is a top pick among mystery, fiction, and thriller lovers. Fans of Frank Peretti, Terri Blackstock, Ted Dekker, Joel Rosenberg, Lynette Eason, Susan Sleeman, Colleen Coble, and Christy Barritt will love this thriller from award-winning and best-selling author Creston Mapes.

About the Author

Creston Mapes grew up in northeast Ohio, where he has fond memories of living with his family of five in the upstairs' portion of his dad's early American furniture store - The Weathervane Shop. Creston was not a good student, but the one natural talent he possessed was writing.

He set type by hand and cranked out his own neighborhood newspaper as a kid, then went on to graduate with a degree in journalism from Bowling Green State University. Creston was a newspaper reporter and photographer in Ohio and Florida, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia, for a job as a creative copywriter for a printing firm/ad agency.

Creston served for a stint as a creative director, but quickly learned he was not cut out for management. He went out on his own as a freelance writer in 1991 and did work for Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola, The Weather Channel, Oracle, ABC-TV, Johnson Controls, TNT Sports, colleges and universities, ad agencies and more. He's ghost-written more than ten nonfiction books.

Along the way, Creston has written ten contemporary thrillers, achieved Amazon Bestseller status, and had one of his novels (Nobody) optioned as a major motion picture. He plans to continue writing fiction into the sunset.

Creston married his fourth grade sweetheart, Patty, and they have four amazing kids who range from 21 to 31 years old. Creston loves his part-time job as an usher at local venues were he gets to see all the latest-greatest concerts and sporting events. He enjoys reading, fishing, time with his family, and dates with his wife.

Edge of seat series!

This series has been amazing! One of the best Christian fiction series I’ve ever listened to. So glad I ran across this author. Action packed, riveting! Got involved with all the characters! Enjoyed the narration also.

Longer positive endings in the stories

I love your stories, and you’re one of the best writers that I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Your stories move fast and are concise and really enjoyable to read even though times they are tragic. My only suggestion is I like at the ending to have more, good solid ending to give you a little bit more about how things are going in everybody’s life following just a few days or a few weeks. So I’d like the endings to be longer and the box is what I’m trying to say on the good positive things that were happening in everybody’s lives.

Great Series with a Great Message!

This book was the most disturbing of the three books in the series, but it definitely lived up to the advertisement of being a high-voltage thriller! The book also had a good message at the end! I’m looking forward to listening to the final book in this series!
