AT THE EDGE is the first installment of Cait
London's new suspense thriller trilogy about three
sisters -- Claire, Tempest and Leona -- triplets born three
minutes apart, each with their own "special gift." AT THE
EDGE is Claire's story -- the youngest by six minutes; the
most sensitive and vulnerable; an empath who absorbs the
sensations and emotions of others. At times, it has
consumed her, terrorized her. She dreams of what it would
be like to be normal -- a woman who can move easily amid
others without protecting herself so fiercely, without
others' emotions consuming her. She cocoons herself inside
her home, away from crowds, working at night creating
designer handbags, when the world is the quietest. Claire
has managed -- until lately.
Something is stirring. Something has caused three gentle
people to change violently, and Claire is in their line of
fire. She's been brutally attacked in her home. Why? Is she
no longer safe?
Claire's quiet, elderly neighbor has passed away leaving
her home to her nephew, Neil Olafson, who's moved in,
bringing with him more noise than Claire's comfort level
can bear. But they are drawn to one another. Neil's son was
abducted eight years earlier when he was only six months
old. Neil's marriage did not survive the tragedy. He's been
searching for his son ever since, not knowing if he's dead
or alive, but still continuing to hope.
Neil asks for Claire's help and promises to protect her
throughout the search. He's desperate. Claire heads into
the most dangerous time of her life determined to find her
own strength and destiny. Possessing a great sensitivity
for anyone who's lost a child, Claire becomes driven. She
feels the loss of Neil's child almost as if he was her own.
She also feels a deep link to this man who's turning her
well-crafted life upside down; a man who's more than she
ever dreamed to find in a life partner.
AT THE EDGE is a chiller. Ms. London has gifted us with a
unique, well-crafted thriller that keeps you "at the edge"
of your seat. It's an all-nighter that's filled with heart-
stopping, pulse-pounding suspense and sensuality, leaving
you yearning for the next sister's story. It takes you on a
roller coaster ride full of surprises from the first page
to the last. You'll miss the beginning of an extraordinary
new series if you don't read AT THE EDGE. It's fantastic.
Claire, Tempest and Leona: triplets blessed--or cursed--
each with a special extra sense that they would deny, given
the chance . . .
Claire, the youngest, finds solitude and escape in rural
Montana. The descendant of an ancient Celtic seer, she
struggles to conceal her unsettling power to sense what
others feel--the good and the evil, the pain and the joy.
When her peace is shattered by her new neighbor, Neil
Olafson, Claire's shielded emotions start simmering. But
while her eerie powers have frightened others away, Neil
isn't running.
As Claire and Neil confront the past to save a young
innocent, a killer lurks who wants them both dead--before
they can unravel his deadly secrets.
