Beneath Copper Falls

Bestselling author Coble (Sunset Cove series) elevates her already-considerable suspense chops with this second book of the Rock Harbor series. Dana, a 911 dispatcher, decides to start a new life in Rock Harbor, Mich. after her ex-fiancé transforms from a charming, stand-up veteran to a raging lunatic who tries to drown her over nothing more than a dinner he didn’t like. With her dog, Phantom, she heads home to Michigan’s rural Upper Peninsula and straight to her brother’s house, where he says she’s welcome to stay as long as she wants. There, life begins seamlessly as she starts a new job as a dispatcher. But then the past is back on her doorstep: one of her first calls comes from Garret, her ex, who has managed to track her down. Though she talks tough, she is seriously frightened and begins to rely heavily on her brother and new friend Boone for advice and support. As Garret continues to pursue, a web of conflicts arises that will keep readers guessing until the very end. [em]Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill. (July) [/em]
