These were the last words
written in Lauren Novak's notebook before she was murdered
in a strange Florida village. They've never meant anything
to the police or to her husband, investigator Markus
Novak. Now the man he believes killed her is out of
prison, and draws Markus to the place he's avoided for so
long: the lonely road where his wife was shot to death
beneath the cypress trees and Spanish moss in a town
called Cassadaga.
In Red Lodge, Montana, a senseless act of vandalism shuts
the lights off in the town where Sabrina Baldwin is still
trying to adjust to a new home and mourning the loss of
her brother, who was a high voltage linesman just like her
husband, Jay. As the spring's final snowstorm calls Jay
deeper into the mountains, chasing the destruction on the
electrical grid, Sabrina is abducted by Garland Webb, the
man Markus Novak believes killed his wife. Drawing them
all together is a messianic villain who understands that
you can never outpace your past. You can only rise against
the future.
