On Tour: Felons & Finders

 

About the Book

Book: FELONS & FINDERS (Granite & Gloss Rescuers: Book 2)

Author: LR STRONG

Genre: Christian Suspense

Release Date: January 18, 2026

Powerful forces hide the most dangerous felons.

Jake Granite is more determined than ever to take down every criminal he possibly can—especially those targeting the most vulnerable. But even working with his private investigation team and law enforcement task forces, it’s been impossible. They always arrive at the scene of the crime too late. It’s infuriating. Who is at the top and who are the informers?

Tarina Gloss has commissions for sculptures and paintings but no time to work on them. After unexpectedly being pulled into Jake’s work, she is eager to save every victim she can. But she’s not equipped or experienced in this type of work. What can she possibly do to help?

Jake and Tarina discover a new partner wants to join them. He’s the Finder, and no felon can hide from him. The only problem is that the Finder only gives them confusing clues—or sets them up to stumble on the criminals in action. He does things in unpredictable ways each time, so they never know what to expect.

Soon they are in over their heads. Tragedies happen, leaving them confused. Can they handle working with the Finder? Most of all, can they trust him?

More from LR

I experience life in colorful and unusual ways because I have synesthesia. Do you know what that is? Most people don’t. You can experience living with synesthesia through my main heroine, Tarina. She’s also a strong believer who has spiritual gifts. I pair her up with a hardcore ex-LAPD cop, now criminal detective, who relies solely on his street smarts and physical abilities. These two opposites are thrown together in deadly situations and have to combine their unique strengths to not only survive, but take down criminals and save victims. In the process they help save each other.

Interview with LR Strong

What is your favorite thing about being a writer? I’m a professional editor and editing instructor, so I edit other people’s writing or teach editors the rules. I’m good at it, but it’s not creative. When I’m a writer, I’m free to write about anything I want to. That’s a lot of fun for me.

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books? Since I’ve been an editor for so long, it doesn’t transfer to writing. I have to use a completely different part of my brain as a writer. In fact, even though I know all the rules, I have to use professional editors to review my writing!

How are your characters like you? Different? I have synesthesia, so I enjoy writing about what it’s like to live with synesthesia through my heroine, Tarina. Readers have commented on how fascinating it is. I also have spiritual gifts like Tarina, so I can write from my heart about those. Jake is very different than me. I’ve never been an LAPD Gangs and Narcs cop or a private detective. So I do a lot of research to make the facts accurate. However, it’s easy for me to write about his heart. We all go through struggles, conflicts, and growth through life experiences.

How do you come up with story lines/book topic? People are filled with so much fear and anxiety, so I write stories specifically to show others how to walk confidently with God. My closest companion is the Lord. He helps me in every situation I face, and He has even done miracles in my life. I write stories that will both entertain and encourage readers.

Why do you write in your particular genre? I enjoy Christian suspense because I like action. But I have to really like the characters, and the plot can’t be predictable (or I’ll stop reading). So I write clean Christian suspense that I would enjoy reading. Along with nonstop action and suspense, my stories are about deep relationships with God and others. That’s the heart and motivation of my writing. I also write cozy mysteries about C9, a rescue cat, based on a real cat I had. Those are lighthearted, but full of action and unexpected situations.
