China Lake
Paradise can be hell on earth
Wyoming surveyed me with a stare that started at my feet, rode up my legs and seemed to slide under my skirt and blouse. He seemed unimpressed. Still, by the time his eyes reached my face, I felt flushed.
Wearily I held up the flyer and said, to the camera, “Tell your cartoonist that Millennium is spelled with two Ns.”
Sometimes I am too clever for my own good. The hipshot quip can ricochet. As I walked away, Wyoming said, “Tell the cartoonist yourself. You’re related to her.”
I stopped dead and stared at the flyer. I flipped to the back page, the final drawing, where she would sign it.
Damn. In tiny letters, Tabitha Delaney. My brother’s wife.
Blessed are the meek, for they keep their mouths shut in front of a TV crew.
What if extremists threatened that the apocalypse was only a plague away – and told you they were going to make it happen?
What if they lured someone in your family into joining them?
Would you fight back when they went after everything you treasured – your lover, your brother, the child you love?
Evan Delaney is shocked when her brother’s ex-wife Tabitha joins a violently fanatical church, the Remnant. Undeterred, Tabitha drags her six-year-old son Luke into the nightmare. Evan is determined to protect him – but The Remnant has a choir, weapons and a target list. Now it wants Luke. And to get him, the Remnant will stop at nothing, including kidnap – and murder…
“Compelling tale, a powerful mix of murder, terrorism and a wealth of dark secrets.”
