Book Description
The Edge - Baffled by a seemingly supernatural
connection to his critically injured sister, an FBI special
agent heads to the Oregon coast in search of a more plausible
explanation for his sudden ESP, only to discover more
puzzling mysteries.
Catherine Coulter's first three New York Times bestselling
suspense thrillers (The Cove, The Maze, and The
Target) dazzled readers with extraordinary plot twists,
incomparable characters, and elegant, tough-to-solve
mysteries. Writing about The Target, Publishers
Weekly called it "an absorbing read." Now comes
a new tale of riveting suspense, a novel in which a small
town falls prey to pure evil.
FBI agent Ford MacDougal--"Mac"--is recovering from
a terrorist car bombing when his sister appears to purposely
drive her Porsche off an Oregon cliff. Curiously, Mac felt as
if he was in the car with her as she sailed toward the sea,
even though he was really in a hospital bed on the other side
of the country.
By the time Mac arrives in Portland, his sister--Dr. Jilly
Bartlett, a medical researcher--has come out of the coma
she's been in for four days. But after a few scant hours with
her brother, Jilly vanishes without a trace. In searching for
her, Mac gets a different story from everyone he encounters.
When the local sheriff enlists Mac's aid in a puzzling murder
of an elderly resident, Mac little suspects that the case
connects to his sister's disappearance. FBI agents Lacey
Sherlock and Dillon Savich (last seen in The Target)
join Mac to ride shotgun, only to find their search leading
from a small town on the Oregon coast to the rain forests of
Costa Rica. Together, they must escape relentless pursuers as
well as the hostile jungle itself before discovering the true
nature of the evil at The Edge.
