#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts explores the wilds of the Grand Tetons-and the mysteries of love, murder, and madness-in this engrossing and passionate novel.The sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, Reece Gilmore settles in Angel’s Fall, Wyoming-temporarily, at least-and takes a job at a local diner. One day, while hiking in the mountains, she peers through her binoculars and sees a couple arguing on the bank of the churning Snake River. And suddenly, the man is on top of the woman, his hands around her throat... By the time Reece reaches a gruff loner named Brody farther down the trail, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find no trace that anyone was even there. No one in Angel’s Fall seems to believe Reece-except Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm’s length. When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody-and herself-to find out if there is a killer in Angel’s Fall, before it’s too late.

This story of the mental and emotional challenges faced by a damaged woman is wholly gripping, even more so because of the eerie psychological element. Add in murder, mystery and romance and you have a chart topper.”- RT Book Reviews About the Author Nora Roberts is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 200 novels.

She had two hundred forty-three dollars and change in her pocket, which might be enough to cure the Chevy, fuel it and herself. If luck was on her side, and the car wasn’t seriously ill, she’d have enough to pay for a room for the night. Then, even by the most optimistic calculations, she’d be broke. She took the plumes of steam puffing out of the hood as a sign it was time to stop traveling for a while and find a job. No worries, no problem, she told herself. The little Wyoming town huddled around the cold blue waters of a lake was as good as anywhere else. Maybe better. It had the openness she needed-all that sky with the snow-dipped peaks of the Tetons rising into it like sober, and somehow aloof, gods. She’d been meandering her way toward them, through the Ansel Adams photograph of peaks and plains for hours. She hadn’t had a clue where she’d end up when she started out that day before dawn, but she’d bypassed Cody, zipped through Dubois, and though she’d toyed with veering into Jackson, she dipped south instead.
