On
the run with her five year old daughter, Jillian Braedon possesses a secret so
explosive that she must be silenced. She is being pursued by relentless covert
agents, intent on getting her out of the picture. While on the run, she runs
into a terrible blizzard. She has a crash and is seriously injured. The only
way possible for her and her daughter to come out alive is send the child out
into the blizzard in hopes that she can find help. They find help in the form
of a retired musician who has turned himself into a recluse. Unwilling; but
driven to do so he takes the small family in. In the process, he drags himself
into their horrible situation.
The
review from the Kirkus review states that this book is:
“Superbly
crafted and flawlessly executed, Eubanks doles out both plot and back-story in
small doses, expertly keeping readers turning page after page...This is a
phenomenal first novel; an excellent read for anyone who loves mystery, and
would-be writers who want to learn exactly how it's done."
I must say that I certainly agree with this review! I
could not put the book down; I just had to know what happened next! There was
no double talk and no repeat or excess information to help the word count. The
characters are real people that you want to get to know. This is something I
really like to see in a book, I actually hope to see more of these characters
from the author in the future.
