While trying to find Molly, Greg and Jill accidentally stumble into something else - the murder of the chairman of the Federal Reserve. An incident happens that makes Greg think he may be able to finger the shooter. He must tread lightly, however. His past dealings with the police have come back to haunt him. An old nemesis is working the case, and he doesn't want Greg anywhere near it - or him.

If things aren't complicated enough, Greg and Jill are also working on a case of theft at a local restaurant. The owner suspects that the employees are pocketing cash from his customers. Jill goes undercover as a hostess to find out how it's being done while Greg uses members from their church to draw out the thieves.

All of these situations flow together to create an engrossing novel that keeps you hopping from one situation to another. Deadly Illusions is a look into a funhouse mirror. The images shift and alter. Just when you think you have it figured out, the picture changes again. The McKenzies are engaging characters, the plot is fast-paced, and the writing is top-notch. Chester Campbell has a winner with this series. I recommend this installment, and I look forward to the next offering.
