Thriller Psychological
A pulse-pounding mystery from the author of The Gates
of Evangeline featuring Charlotte “Charlie” Cates, an
unforgettable heroine whose dark visions bring to light
secrets that will save or destroy those around her . . . When soon-to-be mother Charlotte “Charlie” Cates begins to
have recurring dreams about harm coming to her unborn
daughter, she knows these are not the nightmares of an
anxious mom-to-be. They are the result of her mysterious
gift. But before she can decipher what these dreams might
mean, Charlie learns that the mother who abandoned her when
she was a toddler is the victim of a double murder in
Arizona. The other victim—Jasmine, a half-sister Charlie
never knew she had—has left behind a child, a little girl
who speaks to Charlie in her dreams and was present on the
night of the murders. Convinced that she must help her
orphaned niece, Charlie travels to Tucson, Arizona, where
she must confront her painful ties to her mother and delve
into her sister’s shadowy past. To untangle the web of secrets that will reveal the truth of
her nightmares, Charlie can no longer avoid her family’s
checkered history. Who is in the racy photos that turned up
in Jasmine’s apartment? Where is her niece’s father, whom
Jasmine was rumored to have been seeing again on the sly?
Was her mother’s charity work in Mexico really as selfless
as it seemed? And most important of all, what did her niece
really witness on the night of the murders? The search for answers leads Charlie across the Mexican
border, from the resort town of Rocky Point to the border
town of Nogales, and elucidates the meaning of her dreams in
most unexpected ways. Ultimately, to protect her niece and
her unborn child, Charlie must battle not just evil but the
forces of nature, in one final terrifying encounter in the
Tucson desert. A thrilling mystery that combines literary suspense and
romance with a mystical twist that is unputdownable. If you
love Kate Atkinson and Alice Sebold, you should not miss
Hester Young.
