An Evan Delaney novel.
China Lake. Where belief becomes obsession . . .
'Behold a pale horse and its rider's name was Death . . . they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.'
The Reverend Pete Wyoming is arming his flock - and not just with the scriptures. The way he sees it, the end of the world is nigh and he's ready for judgement. But judgement comes in unexpected ways . . .
Evan Delaney is shocked to discover that her ex-sister-in-law has joined The Remnant - Wyoming's fanatical band of disciples. And that Tabitha is trying to regain custody of her six-year-old son, Luke, currently in Evan's care while his father is posted to the Naval Air Warfare Center.
Along with her boyfriend, lawyer Jesse Blackburn, Evan tackles The Remnant head-on, convinced that they have some more sinister agenda than is immediately apparent.
Two bloody deaths and one kidnap attempt later, Evan realises she's started down a long road - the one to hell.
Meg Gardiner's debut novel is a no-holds-barred ride through a woman's worst nightmare. Complexly plotted and richly textured, it commands attention from the very first page. Among a cast of vividly realised characters, Evan Delaney is a heroine for our times: a woman with a big heart, a quick tongue and a hot temper that gets her into trouble. Readers will applaud Evan's arrival and long for her return.
