Description de l’éditeur
From the award-winning author of SEASON OF THE WITCH comes a highly original story of murder, redemption, eternal love and destiny, WINDWALKER will keep you on the edge of your seat. And break your heart.
When photographer, Justine Callaway, walks into the deserted English mansion, Paradine Park, she doesn't suspect that she is opening the door to the greatest mystery-and magic-of her life.
Justine becomes obsessed by the family who used to live in the house, especially the oldest son, Adam Buchanan. But why is she so drawn to a man who had killed his brother nine years before? And why, as she photographs the house, does she discover ghostly images she knows she did not record?
Even more unsettling, it seems as if someone is stalking her, watching her...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Mostert's second novel (after The Midnight Side) an adept mix of suspense, romance and the supernatural Justine, a troubled and self-destructive photographer, becomes the caretaker for an abandoned English mansion with a dark secret: nine years earlier, one of the inhabitants murdered his own brother. Justine is both horrified and intrigued by the house's history, and as she begins to research it further, she feels an inexplicable connection between herself and Adam, the murderer. Adam, who's been living for the past nine years as a professional diamond diver in a remote African village, is a strong believer in destiny, and the moment he sees a photograph of Justine, he's certain that they're soul mates. The overarching story of these two lost souls gravitating toward one another contains many subplots, including a local minister/stalker who's obsessed with Justine and an over-the-top villain who enjoys clubbing baby seals. Though these secondary story lines tend to be unconvincing, they ensure that Justine and Adam's occasionally tedious love story is always action-packed.
