NO INSCRIPTIONS. 346 pp. All hinges sound. Internally EXCELLENT. "Stephen King praised Gardiner on his website some years ago and interest in her work has been growing ever since. He then wrote extensively about Gardiner again in his Entertainment Weekly column where he said he was staggered that she was not published in the US. 'I mean, this woman is as good as Michael Connelly and far better than Janet Evanovich', wrote King, who advises readers to start with China Lake - Gardiner’s first book in her Evan Delaney series.". A FINE, CLEAN, BRIGHT and TIGHT, UNREAD, NEW copy. (More than one copy available). See Images. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
Synopsis
Evan Delaney learns that not only has her ex-sister-in-law joined a religious cult, but the unstable young mother plans to regain custody of her son and disappear with him into the fold of the fanatical group. But when murder raises the stakes, Evan is dragged even deeper into the nightmare.
