When Night Falls

About the Book

The drowning death of her young daughter and the bitter divorce that followed drove ex-prosecutor Lannie Sullivan into a reclusive existence at her secluded mountain cabin. Now, after two years of isolation, Lannie’s finally emerging from her fragile bubble—losing herself in volunteer work at a local summer-stock theatre and in the embrace of her neighbour, rugged timber baron Drum Rutledge. But Lannie’s new life is in deadly danger. Not only is Drum haunted by secrets that could shatter both their lives, but less than a day’s journey away, a vicious rapist has been released from jail. Jeb Bassert has sworn vengeance on the woman he holds responsible for sending him to prison for nine bitter years—Lannie. In a thriller as chilling and dark as a moonless midnight, Linda Anderson delivers a shattering tale of murder, deception, and redemptive love.
