| Sandra Brown Unabridged CD 12 Hours
Cleary, North Carolina, is a sleepy mountain town--the kind of place where
criminal activity is usually limited to parking violations. Not so,
lately. Four women have disappeared from Cleary over the past two years.
And there's always a blue ribbon left near the spot where each of the women was
last seen. There are no bodies, no other clues, and no suspicion on who
their abductor might be. And now, another woman has disappeared without a
trace.
It is to this backdrop that Lilly Martin returns to close the sale of her
mountain cabin, marking the end of her turbulent eight-year marriage to Dutch
Burton, Cleary's chief of police. Dutch's reluctance to let her go isn't
Lilly's only obstacle. As she's trying to outrun a snowstorm, her car
skids on the icy road and strikes a man. She recognizes the injured man as
Ben Tierney, whom she'd met the previous summer. They're forced to wait
out the storm in the cabin, but as the hours of their confinement mount, Lilly
begins to wonder if the greatest danger to her safety isn't the blizzard
outside, but the mysterious man right beside her. Is Ben Tierney the
feared abductor? Or is he who he claims to be--her rescuer from harm and
from the tragedy that haunts her? |
