Publisher's Synopsis
China Lake - where belief becomes obsession Meg Gardiner's debut novel is a no-holds-barred ride through a woman's worst nightmare. Evan Delaney is a woman with a big heart, a quick tongue and a hot temper that gets her into trouble. She finds that her ex-sister-in-law, Tabitha, has joined The Remnant - a fanatical band of disciples to the Reverend Pete Wyoming. Evan is further shocked to hear that Tabitha is also trying to regain custody of her six-year-old son, Luke, currently in Evan's care while his father is posted to the Naval Air Warfare Center. Along with her boyfriend, lawyer Jesse Blackburn, Evan tackles The Remnant head-on but two bloody deaths and one kidnap attempt later, she realises she's started down a long road - the one to hell.
