Description:
There's sabotage lurking in the waters of Eagle's Talon, an elite floating community designed by gifted architect Vance Nolan. There's also something else in the water--a mysterious presence friendly to some and hostile to others. And when disaster strikes, not even the saboteur expects to be the first in a series of crushing blows.
Stranded by a flood and surrounded by unnatural darkness, a limping band of residents, builders and investors set their sights on escape. Single mom Danielle Clement will do whatever it takes to save her young son Simeon, but she doesn't know who to follow: her charismatic lover and aspiring politician Tony Dean, who dotes on her and her boy, or the selfless Vance, who promises protection for everyone who stays with him--based on a vision and faith she doesn't share.
My Thoughts:
Healy always grabs me with intriguing storylines that grab my attention. Initially I thought this would be like a "Lord of the Flies" kind of story, but it was more about solving the "who done it" of the sinkhole. It was an exciting story and contrasted different kinds of human nature in face of crisis. I was especially fond of the blind man and his dog. I am a big fan of Healy, and, while I didn't think this was my favorite of hers, I enjoyed it very much and look forward to reading more by her.
