The Fallen: A Clara Montague Mystery Volume 2

"Combines full-speed-ahead action with captivating characters and authentic dialogue...complete with gangs, drive-by shootings, a large hurricane, an almost ex-husband, and even some homestyle southern cooking."

-- Lynne Heinzmann, author of Frozen Voices and The Rose Island Lighthouse Series

Clara Montague is having dreams again, the kind that always lead her to trouble. She survives a drive-by shooting that takes the life of a cop, but complicates her new romantic relationship with police chief Kyle. Her conservative town isn't thrilled to have an African American chief, or have him dating one of their own. The hidden motives behind the shooting eventually lead Kyle and Clara to New Orleans. Will Clara's visions be enough to keep them safe from Kyle's past?
