Suspense novelist Kathy Herman is very much at home in the Christian book industry, having worked five years on staff at the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and eleven years at Better Books Christian Center in Tyler, Texas, as product buyer/manager for the children’s department, and eventually as director of human resources.

The first book in Kathy’s new series is titled, The Real Enemy, and the plot will challenge even the sharpest of sleuths. It is based on Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

The main character in the series is Brill Jessup, the first lady police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee. Brill (short for brilliant) is a nickname she picked up during her eighteen years on the Memphis police force. Brill may be a pro at solving cases, but she has a lot to learn about what it means to “Let go and let God.” On the outside she’s got things under control. But when she goes home and kicks off her shoes, her insecurities kick in. Her husband Kurt knows her better than anyone…and if she’d open her eyes, she’d see that he’s becoming a polished version of the man she married. But Brill’s not about to let him hurt her again—not ever. Kurt knows that. He blew it. But he also believes that every sin is redeemable, and good can come from even the stupidest mistake he ever made…if he turns it over to God.
