Product Description
Heart-Pounding Murder Mystery
Involved in a tragic accident under suspicious circumstances, award-winning journalist Jake Woods teams with detective Ollie Chandler to uncover the truth. This alluring repackage of the R andy Alcorn bestseller finds Jake drawing upon all his resources in an ever-intensifying, dangerous murder investigation. Unaware of the imminent threat to his own life, Jake struggles for answers to the mystery at hand and is plunged into a deeper search for the meaning of his own existence.
His Body Hung Suspended Between Two Friends--His Soul Between Two Worlds
Doc’s shoulder jammed into Jake as he swerved the Suburban sharply to the right, cut between a telephone pole and a billboard, then careened into a ten-foot high embankment. Sometime between the sound of Doc’s last cry and the sickening crunch of bent metal from the car’s first roll, Jake lost consciousness. The last sensation he felt was that of being crushed between the two men he had known since childhood?
When tragedy strikes those closest to him, award-winning journalist Jake Woods must draw upon all his resources to uncover the truth about their suspicious accident. Soon he finds himself swept up in a murder investigation that is both complex and dangerous. Unaware of the threat to his own life, Jake is drawn in deeper and deeper as he desperately searches for the answers to the immediate mystery at hand and?ultimately?the deeper meaning of his own existence.
Deadline is a dramatic and vivid novel of substance, filled with hope and perspective for every reader who longs to feel purpose in life.
READER’S GUIDE INCLUDED
Story Behind the Book
Deadline is Randy Alcorn ’s first novel, which stayed on the bestseller’s list for thirty-six months. A thorough researcher, Randy spent time with Portland homicide detectives and columnists at the Oregonian, as well as observing editorial meetings at the Indianapolis Star so he could accurately create the novel’s murder-mystery storyline, setting, and characters. Randy also creatively portrays characters who have died and gone to heaven, where they view events happening on earth.

 Deadline October 4, 2008
Alcorn brings much of his research from his book "Heaven" into this story. Although I don't like fiction, I couldn't put this one down
 Deadline September 16, 2008
A very interesting book!!! A mix of religion and mystery. Very thought provoking.
No wonder it was on the Bestseller list for 36 months! August 12, 2008
This was such an exciting,suspenseful,Christian mystery novel.
Wonderful and thorough character development.One really gets drawn into the story of these 3 guys and their families.
The moral and social issues that are examined are though-provoking.
The author succeeded on so many levels to make this book a joy to read.
An excellent work of fiction book by a true scholar August 3, 2008
My wife and I have been reading Heaven and enjoying it immensely, so I was very eager to check out his fiction works.
Alcorn makes a lot of thought-provoking points to Christians and others alike. There are a number of passages presented in the form of letters, newspaper columns and articles which could be easily used as text materials for advocacy groups. Every believer with a cause should check out his material here.
I was particularly struck by a passage that basically suggested that liberals have success in the media because they know how to relate to editors, writers and publishers, and that conservatives generally don't. Alcorn's not so subtle implication is that if we want to get our message out more effectively, we'd better learn how to relate and speak on their terms. (This is just one of many subtopics of the book.)
His descriptions of heaven are incredibly thought provoking. Again, having read Heaven, it was a delight to read a narrative account of heaven.
My only criticism, shallow as it may be, is that the book is pretty long. Alcorn covers a lot of ground here in terms of storyline, politics, theology, etc. and it may have been too much for one book. Having said that, I would highly recommend this book!
