A CHILLING NEW FANTASY—THE FIRST IN A TRILOGY!
WIDE OPEN
Deborah Coates
Magic crackles across the sky and ghosts haunt lonely country back roads in Deborah Coates’s enthralling debut novel WIDE OPEN (A Tor Hardcover; $24.99; On-sale March 13, 2012)!
After establishing her talent with her short fiction, Coates becomes a novelist to watch with this haunting paranormal mystery about a young woman who has ten days to solve her sister’s murder.
Was it murder or suicide?
When Sergeant Hallie Michaels comes home to Rapid City, South Dakota on ten days’ compassionate leave from Afghanistan, her sister Dell’s ghost is waiting at the airport to greet her.
The sheriff says that Dell’s death was a suicide, but Hallie doesn’t believe it. Why would Dell’s ghost still be hanging around? Friends and family, mourning Dell’s loss, think Hallie’s letting her grief interfere with her judgment.
The one person who seems willing to listen is Boyd Davies, Rapid City’s deputy sheriff. He’s always showing up everywhere he’s not wanted and helping when he doesn’t have to.
As Hallie begins to ask more questions, she attracts new ghosts—women who disappeared without a trace. Soon, someone’s trying to attack her, burn down her father’s ranch and stop her investigation. When Hallie discovers the evil she’s up against, she’s going to need Boyd, her friends, and all the ghosts she can find to defeat an enemy with an unimaginable ancient power at his command.
With her keen ability to weave the paranormal into everyday, rural American life, Coates has created an authentic and intimate story that will stay with the reader long after they have turned the final page. Complex and unique—WIDE OPEN is a brilliant debut from a bright new novelist. (TOR)
