Martha's Veil: A Missing-Person Case Christian Thriller (ANGUS REID MYSTERIES)
About this ebook
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?
Perfect for fans of Charles Martin, Terri Blackstock, Frank Peretti, and Colleen Coble, Martha’s Veil is a tense, faith-driven thriller that explores the intersection of trust, trauma, and spiritual restoration.

About the author
Award winning author of faith-filled Christian Suspense Thrillers that won't let you go!™
Urcelia Teixeira, writes gripping Christian mystery, thriller and suspense novels that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Firm in her Christian faith, all her books are free from profanity and unnecessary sexually suggestive scenes.
She made her writing debut in December 2017, kicking off her newly discovered author journey with her fast-paced archaeological adventure thriller novels that readers have described as 'Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft with a twist of Bourne.'
But, five novels in, and nearly eighteen months later, she had a spiritual re-awakening, and she wrote the sixth and final book in her Alex Hunt Adventure Thriller series. She now fondly refers to The Caiaphas Code as her redemption book. Her statement of faith. And although this series has reached multiple Amazon Bestseller lists, she took the bold step of following her true calling and switched to writing what honors her Creator: Christian Mystery and Suspense fiction.
The first book in her newly discovered genre went on to win the 2021 Illumination Awards Silver medal in the Christian Fiction category and the series reached multiple Amazon Bestseller lists!
While this success is a great honor and blessing, all glory goes to God alone who breathed every word through her!
A committed Christian for over twenty years, she now lives by the following mantra:
"I used to be a writer. Now I am a writer with a purpose!"
