Synopsis

With her career in tatters and her marriage receding in the rear-view mirror, ex-RCMP corporal Lacey McCrae trades her uniform for a tool belt, and the Lower Mainland for the foothills west of Calgary. Amid the oil barons, hockey stars, and other high rollers who inhabit the wilderness playground is her old university roommate, Dee Phillips. Dee’s glossy life was shaken by a reckless driver; now she’s haunted by a nighttime prowler only she can hear. As snowmelt swells the icy river, threatening the only bridge back to civilization, Lacey must make the call: assume Dee’s in danger and get her out or decide the prowler is imaginary and stay, cut off from help if the bridge is swept away.

I enjoyed this book and was glad I had a whole day free to read it in one sitting. The characters are interesting - at first I was a bit put off with their flaws, then I realized that they are just like the rest of us - flawed and yet continuing to live their lives and help their friends. I liked to......more

What a great mix of characters in this story. I went through this book thinking I knew who the villain was, then I changed my mind but was still wrong.

I couldn't put this book down! The kind of book I like to read in one sitting, but even with interruptions like kids needing to be fed and dentist appointments, I was completely immersed in the story from the first page to the last. First of all, I enjoyed getting to know the characters, who all fel......more
