Tarnished Image

September 1, 1998
Dr. David O'Neal has a satisfying career as the head of Barringston Relief, the world's largest relief organization, until his world is shattered when photos and videotapes surface that show him in situations suggesting that he is using his corporation to smuggle illegal aliens into the country. The tapes also show him with another woman, something that makes his girlfriend lose some faith in him. Fighting to prove his innocence, O'Neal puts his trust in God to see him through, but as evidence against him mounts up, he is forced to acknowledge that somebody hates him enough to have framed him in an extremely clever manner. If readers can accept the means by which O'Neal is framed, the rest of Gansky's (Terminal Justice, WaterBrook, 1997) book is a fast-moving, exciting thriller, making up for fairly one-dimensional characters. Recommended where thrillers with a Christian element are popular.
