The Sisterhood, a group of women vigilantes who work outside the law, sleeps away the night after successfully completing their latest mission.  Charles Martin, the head of the Sisterhood, awakens, knowing something is wrong.  Within the hour, he receives a call from his friend across the pond.  In the dark of the night, Charles and his love Myra mysteriously board a British helicopter, leaving the Sisterhood on their own, not knowing when or if Charles will be returning.

With no one at the helm and not knowing when they may be called upon for their next mission, their first concern is to elect a PM or point man to replace Charles or, in their case, a PW or point woman.  Annie de Silva volunteers and everyone agrees that she should be the new PW.  Just as they are cheering her installation as PW, Annie’s cell phone rings.  Pearl Barnes, a retired Supreme Court Justice is in Utah and she needs help.  As she was making one of her Underground Railroad runs to save abused women and children, she came across a bus in a ditch in which the driver was dead.  The bus also contained fourteen teenagers, thirteen of them pregnant and they were headed for HOE, Heaven on Earth, a polygamist sect compound.  Pearl took the teenagers with her, but none would speak except the one who had already lost her baby and who is somewhat mentally retarded.  Pearl wanted to get these children to safety.

 

At the polygamy compound, the Prophet lives in luxury while the girls are used to give birth, one after another and they are passed from one husband to another.  The Prophet owns even the old clothes they wear.  Each of the women collects welfare checks, which go to the Prophet.  A few young women managed to escape and are willing to bring suit against the compound to get their children.

 

As Nikki gets Charles’ password from Myra so she can reach his contacts, other members of the Sisterhood contact their outside allies, such as Maggie, the newspaper owner, Lizzie Fox aka the Silver Fox, their lawyer who never loses a case and Bert Navarro, the FBI Director to name a few.  As the Sisters make their way to Utah on crop dusters, Pearl is trying to make her way to safety with the teenagers, not knowing that the bride of the Prophet is on board and she has a GPS disc attached to her.  Pearl has crossed into Idaho.  Can she make it to safety before the Prophet and his followers catch up to her? 

 

Without a plan and flying by the seat of their pants, the Sisterhood is on a new mission in UNDER THE RADAR, an adventurous, edge-of-your-seat thrilling mystery.  As Charles and Myra wing their way to London and a son on his deathbed who Charles knew nothing about, the Sisterhood is getting ready to take on a bus containing thirteen pregnant teenagers headed to HOE, Heaven on Earth, a polygamist sect compound.  Winging their way to a town where even the sheriff, deputies and doctor are polygamists, the Sisterhood will have to band together and stay on their toes to safely rescue the pregnant teenagers and bring down this particular polygamy sect.  This gripping tale is filled with suspense, adventure, last-minute rescues, compelling characters and an exciting plot, promising to keep you up into the night in the hopes of seeing the Sisterhood safely home after successfully completing their mission.  I highly recommend UNDER THE RADAR, the latest book in the SISTERHOOD series.
