Angels Fall
Nora Roberts
Reece Gilmore has come a long way to see the stunning view
below her. As the sole survivor of a brutal crime back East,
she has been on the run, desperately fighting the nightmares
and panic attacks that haunt her. Reece settles in Angel's
Fist, Wyomingtemporarily, at leastand takes a
job at a local diner. And now she's hiked this mountain all
by herself. It was glorious, she thought, as she peered
through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below.
Then Reece saw the man and woman on the opposite bank.
Arguing. Fighting. And suddenly, the man was on top of the
woman, his hands around her throat . . .
Enjoying a moment of solitude a bit farther down the trail
is a gruff loner named Brody. But by the time Reece reaches
him and brings him to the scene, the pair has vanished. When
authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they
find nothing. No signs of struggle. No freshly turned earth.
Not even a tire track.
And no one in Angel's Fist seems to believe her. After all,
she's a newcomer in town, with a reputation for being jumpy
and jitterymaybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's
time to run again, to move on . . .
Reece Gilmore knows there's a killer in Angel's Fist, even
if Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep
her at arm's length, is the only one willing to believe her.
When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone
wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in
Brodyand herselfto find out if there is a killer
in Angel's Fist before it's too late.
