After her excellent reporting of and help in solving a
child abduction case in Texas, investigative journalist
Kate Page was promoted to Newslead's world headquarters in
Manhattan, New York. It's here that she receives a call
from a detective working a bizarre crime scene in upstate
New York. An angel charm has been found among the ashes of
a burned barn where a woman's remains were found. The charm
fits the description on a report filed 20 years ago when
Kate's sister, Vanessa, was washed away following a car
accident in Canada. Vanessa was never found and Kate has
been searching for her ever since. After seeing the charm,
Kate knows it belongs to her long-lost sister because it's
a perfect match for the one she wears every day.
Kate knows it's dangerous to get too close to this unusual
case, even when DNA proves the corpse is not Vanessa, but
it's hard to put her anguished emotions on hold. There has
to be a connection with the present from somewhere in the
past. Is there a chance that Vanessa is alive? Relentless
in her pursuit of the truth, Kate follows dangerous leads,
impressing authorities with her journalist probing. Strong
emotions may cloud Kate's judgment, but what she uncovers
is beyond anyone's imagination.
In FULL TILT, Rick Mofina meticulously develops an
intricate and absorbing plot, leading to a chilling
conclusion. Investigative journalist Kate Page (first
introduced in WHIRLWIND) is a compelling protagonist
involved in a high-stakes search for the truth. FULL TILT
is another powerhouse thriller for the skillful Rick
Mofina.
Deep in the woods of upstate New York a woman flees a
blazing barn. She is burned beyond recognition, and her
dying words point police to a labyrinth of "confinement
rooms" — rooms designed to hold human beings captive —
where they make other chilling discoveries.
In Manhattan, Kate Page, a single mom and reporter with a
newswire service, receives a heart-stopping call from a
detective on the case. A guardian angel charm found at the
scene fits the description of the one belonging to Kate's
sister, Vanessa, who washed away after a car crash in a
mountain river 20 years ago.
Kate has spent much of her life searching for the truth
behind her little sister's disappearance. Now, a manhunt
for a killer who's kept a collection of victims prisoner
for years without detection becomes her final chance to
either mourn Vanessa's death—or save her life.
