Windle—author of the political/suspense thriller
CrossFire—taps into current events with her newest novel, set in
Afghanistan. Relief worker Amy Mallory had dreamed of working in Kabul for
years, yet her first impressions of the dusty, tradition-bound city aren't
great. Steve Wilson, leader of the personal security detail for
Afghanistan's minister of the interior, carries memories of his last time in
the war-torn country. And Jamil, the Afghan whom Amy hires as her
interpreter, is haunted by his past. The trio's lives entwine as they
struggle to live and work in Kabul, Amy through New Hope—offering protection
to women released from prison—and Steve through protecting Khalid Sayef, a
leader who promises reform. Windle's writing sings when she compares the
teachings of Isa Masih (Jesus Christ) with those of Muhammad, but
occasionally clunks with overuse of acronyms and convoluted sentences. Yet
readers will be enthralled with this penetrating look at Afghanistan and its
many mysteries revealed through the lives of flawed men and women. Windle is
a top-notch storyteller.

"Detail and intrigue make this
story a page-turner...The details are so exact, these same agencies
thought the author was privy to classified material."
In the Library Reviews 4.08 Filled with adventure, suspense
and political intrigue, Windle's novel takes the reader on a wild ride
through the forests of Guatemala to uncover an unsettling combination of
greed, corruption and international conspiracy. This story is not to be
missed! Romantic Times 2.08 "Betrayed is not only a good
mystery, but a good primer on the current state of much of Latin America
and the legacy of our involvement there. And for those readers and
booksellers who might be put off by the Christian slant: on the one
hand, it's gentle, like the hymn that runs through it. On the other
hand, it's thought-provoking, also like the hymn, and gives the story a
tension beyond the social and political."

THE DMZ
Reviewed by: Patricia Sprinkle, Bestselling mystery author
The DMZ is a great book! I read it during a book tour, and could hardly wait for my next break to get back to the Colombian jungle and the adventures of this young reporter who is caught in international intrigue while trying to sort out her own feelings about her past. The story is compelling, with good characters, great dialogue and descriptions, and an ending you cannot put down. Windle writes as well as Grisham and does a better job of weaving faith into the story.
"The DMZ was very thought-provoking and a real joy to read.”--Chuck Holton, bestselling author and former Airborne Ranger, U. S. Army
Windle is skillful at capturing the setting and politics of South America, where she grew up . . . an exciting read.—Joseph Bentz, CBA Marketplace, July 2002

"Windle tells a disturbingly credible story that draws knowledgeably on America's war on drugs to weave a plot where religious extremists mount a potentially fatal terrorist threat at an unimaginably soft American target . . When this gripping story is finished, it will leave you more than a bit worried."-Clyde D. Taylor, Former U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay
"Jeanette Windle always writes an amazingly complex, realistic and eminently
believable story, but it's her mastery of the language that will make you
wish the last page would never come. Jeanette is a wordsmith of the first
order, and her ability to describe a scene will make it come to life in your
mind, and may cause you to literally break a sweat. Pick up any one of her
books and she is sure to become one of your very favorite fiction authors by
the end of the first chapter."-Chuck
Holton, Former U.S. Army Black Beret and best-selling author of A More Elite

"It is said that truth is stranger than fiction but
Windle's fiction is so convincing that one hopes desperately that her
fiction cannot possibly become the truth. This nail biting novel is so
realistic that one wonders if
she has read the mind of potential terrorists."-Willard

"Jeanette
Windle knows whereof she speaks. Having grown up and served in two of the
most violent countries in the world-Colombia and Bolivia-she knows the
territory, the culture, the language, the people and their customs. With the
eagle eye of a reporter who ferrets out the facts, and the skillful pen of a
fascinating writer, she has woven together a riveting and sobering story of
international intrigue. This book is frightening unless the reader believes
in the overruling hand of God in human history-and even then it will give
all of us some disturbingly sleepless nights. I heartily recommend this book
as fiction so true to life today that we cannot ignore it."-David
