Kill Devil Falls by Brian
Klingborg
After an ominous beginning, the action escalates with plenty of
brutality to go around. Each denizen of Kill Devil Falls is more bizarre than
the last.
U.S. Marshal
Helen Morrissey gets an unwanted, but not particularly difficult-sounding
assignment—to drive to Kill Devil Falls and pick up a felon who is being held
there. The sheriff who was supposed to take her, Rita Crawford, back to
Sacramento, has been called away on another emergency. Helen doesn’t realize
that she has made herself a target just by driving north to that desolate
mountain spot, now almost a ghost town.
And no wonder! The town has been declared an environmental
disaster area, sink holes and a tainted water supply, prompting the government
to attempt to move everyone out. The people who remain have their own dark
reasons for being there, some of them deeply hidden. Nothing is quite what it
seems when she gets there and she is given the run-around by nearly everyone.
Not knowing who to trust, she wonders if she’ll make it out alive.
A rocky ride! I loved it!
