Point Last Seen

A gripping romantic suspense about a legendary coastal California town where a woman who comes back from the dead unearths startling secrets.  

Christina Dodd writes Romance, Suspense and Historical Novels. In Point Last Seen, she launches a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat Romantic Suspense set in (fictional) Gothic, Calif. The small beach town harbors “a hearty bunch of loners and eccentrics, artists and fortune-tellers. People who came to Gothic…stayed for a reason.” Gothic is referred to as a “City of Lost Souls.” Legend has it that on stormy nights lost souls return from the dead.

 

One night the legend comes to life: After a terrible February storm, an isolated, hard-working local sculptor, Adam Ramsdell, takes a walk on the beach in search of scrap metal that might’ve been brought in by the tides. During his hunt, he spies a body floating in the surf. He pulls a corpse--a pretty, young woman; bruised and battered with “the marks of a man’s fingers ringing her neck”--to the shore and revives her. The resurrected woman, Elle, can’t remember what happened to bring her to Gothic. This leaves Adam to take her to his home, offering her a safe place to stay until she regains her strength and hopefully, her memory, too. As Adam and Elle try to decipher her identity, the two form a romantic attraction that neither can resist. However, when troubling information bubbles to the surface of Elle’s memory, it suddenly becomes apparent that Elle might not be the only person in Gothic with secrets to hide?

 

Dodd delivers a passionately dark and dangerous story--leavened by a cast of memorable, quirky, small-town characters--sure to keep readers deeply engrossed in the ratcheting romantic suspense of a twisty plot.
