In Houston, there's an adopted child in desperate need of a
bone marrow transplant. The biological mother, Angie
Vanover, is missing, her last communication being from
Devil's Claw, a town full of secrets about an hour outside
of El Paso. Angie's sister, Dana, a veterinarian in
Houston, is searching for her missing sister in hopes of
saving a little girl's life. The newly minted sheriff of
Devil's Claw is Jay Eversole, a man trying to fill his
uncle's shoes after his untimely death in a fire. Jay is
filled with inner demons, having lost his police job in
Dallas because of flashbacks from the terror and death he
witnessed in Iraq.
The people of Devil's Claw don't want Dana in their town,
uncovering long-buried secrets, and they don't hesitate in
showing her. Amid the burning heat and endless sand of
Rimrock County, the rednecks, small-town dirty politics, a
deadly car chase and a snakebite that could have killed
her, Dana is still determined to find her sister. Then a
body mummified in salt is found. Could this be Angie?
In this remote area of the country, in the middle of
nowhere, in a town of less than 200 people, Jay and Dana
have managed to find love. Will Angie be found in time to
help a little girl survive cancer? Will Jay and Dana stay
alive long enough to have a future together? Wait until you
read the ending of this marvelous suspense thriller. You'll
never guess and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I have never missed a Colleen Thompson thriller and
never will. THE SALT MAIDEN is yet another treasure you
cannot miss. It's wrought with intensity, mystery,
intrigue, passion and a roller coaster ride until the last
page is turned. Take the ride; you'll be glad you did.
Deep beneath the desert lies a woman’s body, mummified by
salt, abandoned by those who ought to seek her. With her
rests a secret that someone will kill to keep buried
Devil’s Claw
It’s a barren wasteland, the dead center of nowhere, and
the last place Dana Vanover wants to be. But it’s also the
last known address of her missing sister. Determined to
locate Angie, Dana won’t be deterred by suspicious
rednecks, snakebite, or even the grim prognosis of Sheriff
Jay Eversole: no woman could survive more than a week alone
in the burning heat of Rimrock County . But the endless
sands aren’t the only thing hotter than the chili served up
in the Broken Spur café. Despite small-town dirty politics,
a deadly car chase and a dangerous paternity search, Dana
and Jay can’t keep their hands off each other. In the least
populated area of the country they’ve managed to find love.
Now all they have to do is stay alive long enough to
uncover…
