Inhaltsangabe

The bloody murder of her mother when she was a teenager made Lydia Strong into a woman obsessed with bringing brutal killers to justice. Now thirty years old, she is a reclusive bestselling true crime writer and investigative consultant whose intuitions never lie. The latest case to capture her attention is the disappearance of three adults, each the kind of loner whose sudden absence isn't missed-they have no family, few friends. The Santa Fe Police don't see a pattern, just three people who left their empty lives behind. But when another woman turns up missing, her apartment streaked with blood, even the police have to admit that something is wrong in their usually quiet town. Lydia and P.I. Jeffrey Mark, the ex-FBI agent who solved her mother's murder, begin a relentless investigation. But it is only when the killer ups the ante and goes after Lydia herself that, just like fifteen years ago when she put the FBI on the trail of her mother's killer, the real hunt begins...

"Taut prose, insidious suspense, psychological motivation, police procedural sidebars, and a would-be lover make this debut...a real winner." --Library Journal (starred review)

Aus dem Klappentext

"And on this August morning, the desert air still cool, not yet fully heated by the blazing sun on the rise, she thought she heard her mother's voice almost audibly on the wind. She stopped, and turned around. The sound of her own labored breathing was so loud in her head, she had to quiet herself to hear anything else. But there was only the silence of sand and wind in the trees. Then, in the distance, its sound almost lost in the breeze and the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, a crow screamed. The sound was mournful, and Lydia thought, had a tinge of panic to it."
--from Angel Fire

"Baffling, shocking, awesome-and incredibly suspenseful describe this mystery."
--The Oklahoman on Angel Fire
