#3 in the O'Malley Series

Back Cover:
WOMEN ARE MISSING...
Amy Ireland disappeared twenty years ago without a trace. For U.S. Marshal Quinn Diamond, it's a case that has never closed. He's still searching- determined to learn the truth.
THEY ARE TURNING UP DEAD...
Lisa O'Malley is a forensic pathologist; mysteries are her domain. She has worked crime scenes in Chicago for years. Examining a sea of evidence, the connections between victims are so faint that they fade into ill-defined wisps as she searches for a pattern.
LISA O'MALLEY IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME...
The threads are pulling Lisa's and Quinn's cases together. And where they intersect there's a killer who will stop at nothing to see his secret remained buried.
AND NOW SHE'S MISSING TOO...
Quinn wanted Lisa's help. He never planned to put her in danger. She didn't expect him to invade her heart... or his God to change her life. And while Lisa understands death and darkness all too well, she's about to discover love and the Resurrection.


A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?


Lisa works in the morgue, Quinn works as a U.S. Marshall. The first mark against Quinn was the fact that she was the 4th O'Malley he had asked out. But just because you don't like the timing they have, doesn't mean you won't fall for them. When Quinn's personal case is running parallel with Lisa's case. Women showing up w/the same MO's (Mode of Operation), Can Lisa stop trying to stay away from Quinn long enough to get his help? Or will that be too long?
Quinn, being older that Lisa, is ready to settle down, but when he asks Lisa out as the fourth O'Malley, he'll soon learn that girls just don't like that. lol. (am I right girls?)
It's a great book. You get used to Lisa's sense of humor towards the middle of the book. And Quinn ends up being like a Prince Charming at the end. The perfect mixture of Romance, Mystery, and Faith!

Leaps of Faith contains 15 stories that cover the spectrum of the SF genre, showing the positive relationship between science and religion.

Space Exploration: High Hopes for The Dead,” shows Christian evangelism though faithful example of Luke “High Hopes” Kittery, a member of a band of space explorers for whom every trip is potential suicide. “Quantum Express” examines the soul’s fate when the body is destroyed and reassembled through teleportation. In “God’s Gift,” faith is the key to preventing insanity brought on by a new method of interstellar travel. “Leaps of Faith” highlights the new industry of space search and rescue though the intrepid nuns of Our Lady of the Rescue. In “Confirmation,” harvesters of an exotic space fuel suspect they’re harvesting intelligent life--or perhaps the angels themselves.

Encountering Alien Life: “Lost in the Translation” chronicles a monk’s evangelism to a species for which death results in corporeal rebirth. In “Lost Rythar,” ministers bring the Word of God to long-forgotten human colonies. In “Sometimes We Lie,” a native born being tries to spread an ancient human faith. Fr. Wren wonders if a sentient tree-creature can marry into the Catholic Faith in “The Convert,” while Fr. Travener faces persecution by ministering to sentient androids in “Comprehending It Not.”

Hard SF: An astrophysicist finds the face of God in the stars in “The Smile.” God is a proven fact in “The Faith Equation,” leaving the question of the role of belief. “The Relics of Venice” combines genetic engineering and love to create a miracle.

Time travel: By: In “Tampering with God’s Time,” time travelers find they cannot change the timeline, but are themselves change as they encounter Christ personally, while in “Moses Disposes,” King Solomon deliberately uses time travelers to bring the Bible to future generations in an idiom they can understand.

My Two Cents Worth:
It was a good book, I'm not so into the SF types of books, (as y'all probably know;)
I have to say that it was well written.
Leaps of Faith contains 15 stories exploring space, time and faith. Can an ancient religion bring hope to first-line explorers for whom each trip is potential suicide? What does it mean when a physicist finds God's face in the stars? Is there a "saint gene" and can it be reproduced to create miracles? What happens to your soul when your body is shattered into quantum elements and reassembled on another world? How will the Christian faith transform alien thoughts and traditions?
Read as time travelers seeking to change Biblical history and space travelers harvesting "angels" are brought to faith by their experiences. Experience tender romance and heart-pounding adventure. Laugh at the foibles of man.
A 2002 EPPIE finalist for Best Electronic Anthology, Leaps of Faith promises the best in Christian sci-fi.
