The Shimmering Road

A pulse-pounding mystery from the author of The Gates of Evangeline featuring Charlotte â€œCharlieâ€ Cates, an unforgettable heroine whose dark visions bring to light secrets that willÂ save or destroy those around her . . .
Â
When soon-to-be mother Charlotte â€œCharlieâ€ Cates begins to have recurring dreams about harm coming to her unborn daughter, she knows these are not the nightmares of an anxious mom-to-be. They are the result of her mysterious gift. But before she can decipher what these dreams might mean, Charlie learns that the mother who abandoned her when she was a toddler is the victim of a double murder in Arizona. The other victimâ€”Jasmine, a half-sister Charlie never knew she hadâ€”has left behind a child, a little girl who speaks to Charlie in her dreams and was present on the night of the murders. Convinced that she must help her orphaned niece, Charlie travels to Tucson, Arizona, where she must confront her painful ties to her mother and delve into her sisterâ€™s shadowy past.

To untangle the web of secrets that will reveal the truth of her nightmares, Charlie can no longer avoid her familyâ€™s checkered history. Who is in the racy photos that turned up in Jasmineâ€™s apartment? Where is her nieceâ€™s father, whom Jasmine was rumored to have been seeing again on the sly? Was her motherâ€™s charity work in Mexico really as selfless as it seemed? And most important of all, what did her niece really witness on the night of the murders?

The search for answers leads Charlie across the Mexican border, from the resort town of Rocky Point to the border town of Nogales, and elucidates the meaning of her dreams in most unexpected ways. Ultimately, to protect her niece and her unborn child, Charlie must battle not just evil but the forces of nature, in one final terrifying encounter in the Tucson desert.

A thrilling mystery that combines literary suspense and romance with a mystical twist that is unputdownable. If you love Kate Atkinson and Alice Sebold, you should not miss Hester Young.
