Jared’s church decides to sponsor an African refugee family. When the apartment falls through, the family ends up living with Jared and his family. Jared starts to notice that things about the family are not just right. No one wants to listen to him when he tries to explain it. Once again Cooney has written a great suspense tale which kind of sneaks up on you. The reader just gets reading along in this 228 and it started to get tense and suddenly when you realize what is happening, it grips you in the seat of the pants. This is a very good topical suspense tale.
