When the main character, Claudia, watched her best friend be gunned down and the gun man get away, she never intended for the nightmares to cause her husband, Vic, to reopen the cold case nearly ten years later.
The Crossing

In the beginning of the story, she happens to run into two different people that were on the bus that day, Casio, her ex boyfriend from back then, and Georgie, a girl she doesn’t hardly remember. Casio was also on the police force and when he heard Vic reopening the case, he was determined to help him find the guy that not only killed B.J. Remington, but shot him in the arm. One of the first bits of evidence that is found is discovering that B.J. Remington was also pregnant and this information was not with the original report. This is the first part of all the twist and turns while trying to discover the truth.
This was an amazing reading! I would give it 10 out of 10. I have never read a Serita Jakes book but this one caught my attention before the end of chapter one. She had a minor story line of what your last thought might be during the last minutes of your life - something I am sure almost everyone can relate to. But the book’s main story line is a mystery that keeps you on your toes through out the whole story.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries, discoveries and someone who likes Christianity based book. I believe this book is suitable for anyone over the age of 13. There isn’t much cursing or explicit scenes. However, the lesson to be learned from this book is suitable for all ages.
This book was a fantastic reading and I was anxious to be able to get back to it. I look forward to reading another book by Serita Jakes.
