Book by Grimes Martha

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

She didn't know who she was, where she was from or how she got there, only that she is in a Santa Fe bed and breakfast alone and that the owner says her father carried her in, asleep.

Daddy - she immediately knows that the man is not her father. She takes his jacket, money and the gun hidden in the trunk of his car and heads for the mountains, sensing safety in their forbidding presence. Months later, she walks down from the mountains into Santa Fe, and into the life of fourteen-year-old Mary Dark Hope. They begin to realise the only way she will be free is to find the man who abducted her. In a succession of fast-moving episodes they move towards the inevitable and harrowing confrontation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In a unique departure from her acclaimed Richard Jury novels, bestselling author Martha Grimes presents "a lyrical coming-of-age journey" (Chicago Sun-Times) featuring two characters from her previous novels.

A nameless young woman awakes in a strange bed-and-breakfast with a message that her "Daddy" will soon return. Fearing the worst, she flees into the wilderness and meets Mary Dark Hope. Together, the two track down the one person who holds the key to the girl's identity: The man who abducted her.
