Evan Delaney is shocked to learn that her ex-sister-in-law, Tabitha, has joined the Remnant, a religion with a dangerous and fanatical following. What is more alarming is that the unstable young mother plans to regain custody of her son and disappear with him into the fold of the church. She has the Remnant on her side, and they'll do anything it takes - including murder - to get what they want. But it's another member of the Remnant who's killed, and when Evan's brother becomes a suspect, Evan is dragged even deeper into the nightmare.
"From beginning to end, China Lake is a book no reader of thrillers will be able to put down. Great characters, dynamic plot, nail-biting action - Meg Gardiner gives us everything." - Elizabeth George
Former lawyer and sci-fi novelist Evan Delaney becomes the target of a doomsday religious cult after her ex-sister-in-law tries to regain custody of her son. Narrator Tanya Eby Sirois navigates this tale of terror in God's name with a smooth professionalism, altering her tempo during the action sequences and slowing her rhythm when delivering exposition. A terrific sequence involving the funeral of an AIDS victim is visceral in its impact. The murder of the leader of the fundamentalist group further ups the ante as events move to the story's climax. Listeners will relish the suspense and breakneck action, which are augmented by Sirois's pitch-perfect delivery. R.O. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
