Book description
Nora Roberts - the world's greatest storyteller.
Abigail Lowery has a dark and terrifying secret. Aged just sixteen,
she witnessed a shocking mafia murder. Narrowly escaping with her
life, she was forced to leave her old identity - even her real name -
behind for good.
Fifteen years later Abigail is still hiding from the world - a
semi-recluse in the quiet, rural town of Bickford, Arkansas. She has
convinced herself that this is all she needs: peace, safety... and her
faithful guard dog Bert. Perhaps now, at last, she can stop running.
But Brooks Gleason, the local chief of police, has other ideas.
Abigail intrigues him - and he'd like nothing better than to break
through the walls she has built around herself. His persistence and
determination to uncover the truth is unsettling, exciting - and
dangerous. One way or another, it will change both their lives for ever.
