Description
""Tough but tender - a harrowing ride in the company of Lydia Strong, one of my favorite new characters, by one of my favorite new writers" -Lee Child "Once in a while a mystery novel appears that has everything you want and more: gutsy, complicated characters, a rocket-paced story that hardly gives you time to catch your breath, and twists and turns you never see coming. This is that novel...The Darkness Gathers is flat-out terrific." -Margaret Coel "Miscione appeared on the thriller scene a year ago with the widely acclaimed Angel Fire and should garner equally enthusiastic reviews for her second... it soars" -St. Petersburg Times "The second in Miscione's series featuring true-crime writer Lydia Strong is a winner... An exciting story enriched by a glamorous writer-heroine who carries a Glock and knows how to use it." -Booklist "Fast-paced mystery...The tension is palpable." -Albuquerque Journal "Taut and suspenseful" -Cleveland Plain Dealer "The Darkness Gathers is a compelling read with an interesting storyline. The author's portrayal of sexual slavery and the Albanian situation is edifying as well as disturbing..." -Knoxville News-Sentinel "Complex protagonists, intense prose, and atmospheric descriptions combine to make Miscione's second fictional outing a solid and satisfying read" -Library Journal "The author has a thorough understanding of the vagaries of South Florida. And Miscione delivers some action-packed scenes, especially a few creepy nights in Manhattan and a chilling visit to Albania." -Sun-Sentinel "This is a great second novel... The suspense is almost unbearably high... an intelligent thriller, and the love story between Lydia and Jeffrey adds a poignant and beautiful relief to the omnipresent evil that pervades the rest of the pages. We can't wait for the third." -New Mystery Reader Magazine "Another fantastic page-turner... Lisa Miscione knows how to take an idea and make it extraordinary!" -Book Review Cafe
Features & Highlights
- Fresh from a tour promoting her last case, reclusive true crime writer Lydia Strong receives an anonymous cry for help, begging her to find and protect Tatiana Quinn, "and all the other girls in need of rescue." Maybe the plea strikes close to her heart; maybe her investigator's intuition starts buzzing. She takes it on.But this simple case of a missing teenager soon becomes much more. Someone wants Lydia to drop the case, someone powerful, someone anxious enough to engineer the reappearance of one of Lydia's first--and most dangerous--adversaries. Now, in addition to tracing the roots of Tatiana's disappearance on a trail across the country and eventually overseas, Lydia must find the man who wants her dead, his unfinished business from years ago.
