Synopsis
She vanished meeting a man who doesn't exist. The clock is ticking—and she's not his first victim.
In the fog-shrouded coastal town of Weyport, head baker Martha Porter lives a life of quiet control—perfect cakes, polite smiles, and a heart safely tucked behind emotional walls. But when a charming man begins messaging her through an online Christian forum, Martha dares to hope again… until she vanishes on the very night she agrees to meet him.
The missing-person case falls to Sheriff Angus Reid, whose investigation takes a dark turn when another woman’s body washes ashore—another victim who’d been speaking to a mysterious online suitor. What begins as a local missing person case quickly unravels into a disturbing pattern: a calculated predator is using faith-based communities and online forums to hunt vulnerable women across coastal Maine.
As Angus uncovers a chilling network of digital manipulation, stolen identities, and religious deceit, the race to find Martha becomes more urgent. Each clue leads deeper into a twisted mind hiding behind a mask of righteousness, and the line between justice and judgment begins to blur.
Can Angus unmask the predator before Martha becomes his next victim? Or will the fog that shrouds Weyport's coast hide another tragedy forever?

Chapter One Look Inside
Chapter One Look Inside
Prologue
The veil of fog rolled in off the ocean like a living thing, cloaking the coastal town in silence.
It was the kind of night that made everything feel uncertain—where familiar streets turned strange, and even the moon hid behind a curtain of cloud. Somewhere in the hush, a car door clicked shut. Footsteps whispered across damp gravel. A shadow moved where no one should be.
She should have known better. Should have listened to the uneasy feeling tightening in her chest. But it was late, and lonely hearts had a way of silencing caution when hope came knocking.
They always said truth brings freedom, that light exposes darkness. But in this town, darkness knew how to wear a mask—and truth didn’t always arrive in time.
Later, they would comb through evidence and motives. Try to piece together why someone so ordinary had vanished without a trace. But in that moment—beneath the veil of night and the echo of secrets—the only thing that remained was the sound of the ocean, relentless and unbothered by the evil unfolding on its shores.
Because evil didn’t always arrive with thunder.
Sometimes, it smiled first.

Angus and the gang from Weyport are back in book 9 and what a page turner.
What starts out as a slow burn to reel (suck) you in, by the time you get a few chapters in, you realise you don't want to (or can't) put the book down.
Each chapter keeps feeding you little tidbits, keeping you invested, mesmerised and wanting more (a need to know now).
I was not expecting some of the curveballs Angus has to deal with and there were a few spots that had me guessing what was going to happen next, which is what I love about this series. Everything is kept secret until the last possible moment and then boom 💥 (gotcha)
I can't wait to read Angus's next mystery case as each new story is better than it's predecessor.
Wow! I thought I'd read a few pages of Caleb's Cross last night, but ended up not putting it down until I devoured the whole book! I thought I had the plot figured out, but boy was I wrong!
Urcelia Teixeira did a nice job of dealing with a sticky subject with grace and hope. I'm already looking forward to Angus' next adventure!
WOW......
What a great book.
Angus and his team are back in the depths of mystery, trying to sort out another whodunit.
This one pulled me in from the start and held me captivated till the end trying to work it all out before Angus did.
Have to admit, every time I thought I had it, another twist jumped out at me.
Can you solve the mystery before Angus?
Her best book to date I think. Couldn’t put it down. Catches you from page one. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sheriff Angus Reid's brother died eighteen years ago, or did he? A recent falsified document has come to Angus's attention making him wonder if Logan might still be alive. As Angus desperately searches for the truth, he faces many obstacles--a complicated maze of paperwork, red tape, threats, and people deliberately trying to impede his search. There is plenty of action in the book, although the main struggle is inside of the sheriff's head. He must wrestle with doubt, obedience to the law, faith, mercy, grace, and what righteousness really means. A quote about Angus: "He needed truth the way other men needed air."
An adorable collie named Scout provides Angus with his only comfort because he is pushing away his friends and reluctant to pray to God about it. The search for Logan might cost Angus dearly as he faces sacrifice.

Loved this story, Hard to put down, intriguing. This set of Christian mystery thrillers are a definite need to read. How to live your faith in every day life regardless of turmoils,
This book is one of the best from this set, It enthralled me all the way to the end. I really enjoyed how realistic every situation was. How Angus Reed was portrayed throughout was just right. Each book can be read as a stand alone and each one impacts powerfully with your faith, love and hope in God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ
This is one in a set of "can't put down" books. You have to get them and you will really enjoy reading them.
Each one of these books can stand alone but my goodness they are so gripping and faith filled that you just have to go to the next book. I give these books a 5 star each.
So good! Great read. Loved the different approach. Hated for it to end. Very impressed with her storylines & writing.
Suspenseful book I really enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this title! A blessing to find an author who glorifies God in her writing!
I really enjoyed this book. The story was interesting and captured my attention from the very beginning. The characters were relatable, and the writing was very good. Ms Teixeira clearly has a real talent for storytelling.
I was a little worried about the AI narration beforehand, but it turned out not to be a problem at all. I found it easy to listen to and didn’t feel that it took away from the story.
I’m definitely looking forward to listening to the rest of the Angus Reid series!
David's Debt was my favorite in the series so far. It kept me guessing till the end "who done it!" A real page turner all the way through.
First;" Little Boy Lost" had me in tears, and needed to finish it as soon as possible. The ending was unbelievable. This story was so well put together I was there and feeling every emotion . You have to read it. This book also is what caught my attention to wanting to know more of this amazing detective. I have enjoyed every one of these books and still they make me want more. I really love how you bring God into everyday instances. The combination of mystery, everyday life, faith and answered prayer are incredible.
I can’t recall the last time I devoured books in a series like this!! Just love her writing and how each book draws me into the story but also into the Word. This is fiction for Christians at its best! Highly recommend!
Another great read - you can’t read it quickly or skip words or you will miss something! Every word counts!!! I am a “speed reader” and I had to go back and slow down!!! Took some unexpected twists and turns and held you till the end!
All of her books are fantastic. Anxiously await the next one.
Excellent book by a brilliant author.
One of the things I love about Urcelia Teixeira's books is that they stay with you long after you close the back cover. David's Debt is definitely no exception! While the plot will keep you turning pages long into the night, if you don't ponder the phrase, "and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," then you have missed the message of the book. I might not ever recite the Lord's Prayer again without properly considering what this phrase means.
Urcelia does it again! A suspenseful who done it with all the twists and turns, can’t put it
down that we have come to expect. This one however, hits you differently and challenges you to look inward at what you would do in the characters place. A book about love, redemption, and forgiveness. It made me contemplate, like Angus, forgive me of my debts as I forgive my debtors. A lot of soul searching. An amazing read!
Thank you for the amazing books. They held me captivated from the beginning. It is so refreshing to read mystery novels that are clean. Can't wait to read more!
Urcelia 5+ 🌟
This book really is the one, I have enjoyed the most.
Its been hard to get my head out of thinking about the book.
A highly recommended from me.
I have been supplied with an arc of this book. It has been left to my choice to write a review.
You cannot ask forgiveness for something you will not name. You want to pray, but that means you will have to deal with that unsaid thing.
A stranger in town, seemingly loitering, but is he? Once again the author slowly reels the reader in, making it harder and harder to figure out who the questionable character is. An anonymous 911 call, a missing person, a notebook that seems to make no sense and more leave Sheriff Angus and his deputy, Miguel searching for answers. Nothing seems to add up until
someone finally comes forward with the truth. Will the debt ever get paid?
A copy was received through Purpose Bound Press and BookFunnel. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
From the very first page Urcelia held my interest. She has a way with words. Constant action which makes the mystery more profound.
Sheriff Reid is caught in a dilemma while working this latest case. Things just aren’t adding up and he must face things he does not want to because it is looking like Murphy Delaney his love interest is involved.
There are so many layers with twists and turns as this story unfolds that it keeps you turning pages as you try to keep up with all that is happening.
This story is very well written and keeps you in suspense as to who did what to whom, and little by little you are lead down the path that Angus must follow to find the guilty person.
This series just gets better with each book.
I think you will really enjoy this book, I know I did!!

Great read. Suspenseful to the very end. Love your writing.
This was a compelling story that started in a previous book. I enjoyed it very much. (I've enjoyed all the books in this series.) However I disagree with Angus that Logan's way of operating was illegal. I did not read anything illegal in the way he resolved serious situations. So that bothered me a bit. But there may have been things done behind the scenes that we, the reader, were not privy to. Overall it was a very enjoyable read.
I was immersed right from the start. Such a great read that keeps you interested until the very end!
A fantastic read Urcelia is a great storyteller with the added bonus of her books been faithful storylines. This is one of her best i feel mind not read a bad one yet.
When Jonah, a young man, desperate to impressed his father ends up getting kidnapped things take a nasty, turn for our hero Sheriff Angus but I can't tell you what it is as I don't like to give spoilers.
So highly highly recommend this novel, I loved it and hope you do as well
