June Farrow, a paramedic and SAR volunteer is searching the
mountains of Wyoming with her 4 year old K-9 Lab. Lacy
Matthews and her 3 year old twins have disappeared and they
are feared murdered by the cult devotees of Samuel Grayson
from Cold Plains, Wyoming. Samuel owns the town and
eliminates anyone not marching to his tune. June lost her
husband and 3 year old son because of Samuel Grayson and
vows to take him down. Working for the EXIT program, a
national organization in aiding victims of cults, she has
sequestered 8 devotees in a safe house hidden in the
wilderness caves. Finding an injured rugged man having
amnesia because of a blow to the head, she has no choice but
to take his gun and keep him under lock and key at the safe
house since he has the noted "D" tattoo on his hip, a
branding of the devotees.
June has labeled the fascinating man the "Marlboro" man
after his rugged handsomeness. After much self evaluation,
Jesse Grainger begins to remember who he is , but not before
becoming very close to June. He too has lost a wife and
little boy to a fire, with his wife's last request of Jesse
to find and rescue her brother from the cult. Will the two
be able to save more innocent victims from the cult?
THE PERFECT OUTSIDER is another in the very exciting and
interesting addition to the Perfect, Wyoming series. The
puppet master is a handsome and suave man intent on keeping
"his" town under his control no matter the cost. This series
is well written and apparently well researched. Loreth Anne
White has made her characters very colorful and exciting
people. Suspense and constant activity keeps you on your
toes, waiting for the next shoe to fall. I can't wait for
the next riveting issue of the town of Cold Plains and their
terrifying cult.
"Please help me figure out who I am." How can she leave him to die? June Farrow works for Cold Plains Search and Rescue as cover for her real mission-helping Devotees escape from Samuel Grayson's evil cult. The rugged man she finds in the woods has no memory, but evidence points to his being one of Grayson's murderous enforcers. Hardwired to save lives, June's only option is to take him to the safe house. "Jesse" is the name on his belt buckle-that's about the only thing he knows. Now he's being held prisoner by a beautiful stranger. The fierce attraction between them threatens to awaken details from his past. But how can he even trust himself when he might destroy those he's trying to protect?
