“It makes Silence of the Lambs look like Mary had a little one—it never lets up.” —Adrienne Dines, author of The Jigsaw Maker
Evan Delaney knew China Lake was a tough place to grow up. She never knew how tough until she returns to the desert military base for her high school reunion and learns that several of her classmates have died young. Then, on the first night of the reunion, another one dies—this one savagely butchered. And she’s just the first. Someone has an ax to grind. And Evan’s graduating class has something to fear.
“One of the best thrills I've read this year. Miss Gardiner has written a cracker.” —Caroline Carver, CWA Dagger-winning author of Blood Junction
“A tense and exciting thriller where almost anything seems possible.” —Independent on Sunday

From AudioFile:
Someone is killing the people who once attended high school together in a town called China Lake, best known for its "need-to-know" military base. As freelance journalist and daughter of a CIA spook Evan Delaney finds out, the truth is even scarier than she could have imagined. Narrator Tanya Eby Sirois carries the listener through the myriad twists of this thriller like the perfect guide. She portrays the sexually ambiguous killer with skill, heightening the mystery of whether the killer is man, woman, or both. She also succeeds in making a handicapped character realistic and heroic without being maudlin. In addition, Evan's partially paralyzed boyfriend, her annoying cousin, her peculiar mother, and her tough father make a fascinating set of characters out to expose a killer before he/she completes a murder spree.
