Brill Jessup becomes the first female police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee, and soon faces a series of bizarre disappearances that sends chills through the townspeople.
Brill’s investigation runs headlong into a nineteenth century legend that claims that the “red shadows,” the spirits of the Cherokee who were driven from the land, roam the countryside and wreak havoc on the descendants of those who settled there. Brill thinks it’s absurd but soon discovers that that people who grew up with the legend are convinced the authorities are withholding the truth. The media can’t get enough of the story, and panic sets in when new facts seem to support the legend.
Brill uses the case to avoid dealing with her husband Kurt’s affair. She’s never going to forgive him. So why can’t she just end it?
As the case heats up, so does Brill’s anger. Based on Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good,” the real enemy may be closer than she thinks.

THE REAL ENEMY
by Kathy Herman
Brill Jessup just became the first female police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee, and is riding on the credentials of a stellar eighteen-year career on the Memphis police force. She may be a pro at finding clues, but she tends to ignore the obvious in her personal life. Her husband, Kurt, is weighted down by her unrelenting anger as he struggles to let God redeem the stupidest mistake he ever made. Brill hides behind her badge and her bitterness, deciding that moving her family away from Memphis is the only change she needs to make.
Before she even has time to unpack her boxes, people start disappearing. Lots of them. To complicate matters, a local legend has many residents believing that the cause is unearthly - tied to the "red shadows," or spirits of the departed Cherokee who once inhabited the land. While Brill draws on all of her experience and instinct to solve the case, she must confront an enemy that threatens everything she holds dear - one that cannot be stopped with a badge and a gun.
