A man's death in the Smoky Mountains raises the suspicions of his estranged wife in this suspenseful novel by a New York Times-bestselling author. Vietnam veteran David Hallam is in Tennessee working as an arson investigator for an insurance company when he sends his wife, Karen, an unnerving note: "If anything happens to me down here, don't let it pass as an accident . . ." Ten days later, he dies in a fire and the only thing Karen can feel is guilt--for all the years she wasted in an unsalvageable marriage and for the relief she feels at finally having the sadistic and abusive man out of her life. But despite all that transpired between them, Karen leaves New York City for Belle Isle, in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, to bury her husband. Once there, Karen can finally put the past to rest--or so she thinks. Instead, she is drawn into a tangled and deadly web of disputed fortune, family jealousy, conspiracy, adultery, and murder. A New York Times-bestselling author and recipient of the Edgar and Agatha Awards, "Phyllis Whitney is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft" (Barbara Michaels). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author's estate.… (plus d'informations)
"If anything happens to me down here, don't let it pass as an accident. You owe me that, Karen..." David Hallam had written those words in his last letter to his wife from a small village in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains. Ten days later he was dead. Now Karen Hallam had to find out why. Her search would take her deep into the misty, haunted mountains where her husband was born, and where he spent the last few weeks of his life. It would lead her into a tangled web of disputed fortune, family jealousy, conspiracy, adultery and murder. And it would bring her face to face again, with Trevor Andrews, David's half brother-the first man she had ever loved. But Trevor was married now, distant, unreachable-and before long Karen would learn that Trevor Andrews had his own good reasons for wanting David dead. And in that moment she would also know that her passion for the truth might drive her to betray the deepest instincts of her heart.
