Sinossi

A man’s death in the Smoky Mountains raises the suspicions of his estranged wife in this suspenseful novel by a New York Times–bestselling author.   Vietnam veteran David Hallam is in Tennessee working as an arson investigator for an insurance company when he sends his wife, Karen, an unnerving note: “If anything happens to me down here, don’t let it pass as an accident . . .” Ten days later, he dies in a fire and the only thing Karen can feel is guilt—for all the years she wasted in an unsalvageable marriage and for the relief she feels at finally having the sadistic and abusive man out of her life. But despite all that transpired between them, Karen leaves New York City for Belle Isle, in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, to bury her husband.   Once there, Karen can finally put the past to rest—or so she thinks. Instead, she is drawn into a tangled and deadly web of disputed fortune, family jealousy, conspiracy, adultery, and murder.   A New York Times–bestselling author and recipient of the Edgar and Agatha Awards, “Phyllis Whitney is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft” (Barbara Michaels).  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author’s estate.

    It ain't over till the fat lady sings…but the show hasn't even started yet when a diva is found dead. The soprano in question, a petite young Asian Canadian named Charise Lee, was scarcely a star at the Washington National Opera. But when the aspiring singer is stabbed in the heart backstage during rehearsals, she suddenly takes center stage. 
     
    Georgetown law professor Mac Smith thought he'd just be carrying a rapier in Tosca as a favor to his beloved Annabel, but now they're both being pressured by the panicked theater board to unmask a killer. Providing accompaniment will be former homicide detective, current P.I., and eternal opera fan Raymond Pawkins. 
     
    Soon the Smiths find themselves dangerously improvising among an expanding cast of suspects with all sorts of scores to settle. What they uncover is an increasingly complex case reaching far beyond Washington to a dark world of informers and terror alerts in Iraq, and climaxing on a fateful night at the opera attended by none other than the President himself.

    A land owner, Vasili Andreevich, takes along one of his peasants, Nikita, for a short journey to another town. He wishes to get to the town quickly 'for business'. They find themselves in the middle of a blizzard, but the master in his avarice wishes to press on. They eventually get lost off the road and they try to camp. The master's peasant soon finds himself about to die from hypothermia. The master leaves him on the horse to stubbornly try to find the road. When he returns, he attains a spiritual/moral revelation, and Tolstoy once again repeats one of his famous themes: that the only true happiness in life is found by living for others. (Wikipedia)

    Crouch, Idaho has a secret. A secret hidden behind a paramilitary security force. Their leader calls them a Community. The residents of Crouch call them a cult. Chase Harper doesn't care what they're called. His only concern is they have his sister and his niece, and he wants them back! 
    Chase, a retired Army Ranger, has to lean on his training, and a heavy dose of instinct, if he has any chance of rescuing his family. 
    The Holy Light Community proclaims to want nothing more than to be left alone to worship as they please. Their spiritual leader went so far as to hire a paramilitary security force as a buffer between his Community and the world. 
    The residents of Crouch, Idaho, were suspicious when the Holy Light Community (HLC) purchased 411 acres northeast of town. The rumors grew as the HLC population expanded and a para-military force began patrolling its borders.  
    When Chase arrives, the little community responds and is willing to put themselves in harm's way. Will Chase allow them to assist in rescuing his sister and niece, even at the threat to their own lives? 
    Fall of Adam is the first book in The Chase Harper Justice Thriller Series. If you like a story that pulls you through chapter after chapter, then you’ll love Rusty Ellis’ vigilante justice series.
