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.
