A novel of suspense, family ties, and twisted passions
from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Obsession...
The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family
business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over
thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, itβs
kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large
staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another
member of the family once: Bodineβs aunt, Alice, who ran off
before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows
donβt talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met
her, quietly presume sheβs dead. But she isnβt. She is not
far away, part of a new family, one she never choseβand her
mind has been shatteredβ¦
When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo
and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, itβs the
first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround
them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting
himβand turning to him as another woman is murdered and the
Longbows are stunned by Aliceβs sudden reappearance. The
twisted story she has to tell about the pastβand the threat
that follows in her wakeβwill test the bonds of this strong
family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never
have imagined.
