Dead Lines

by Holly Ann Wilcox

Will Maggie find Nell Walker’s missing daughter? Is she falling in love with a rogue? Will she ever see her son again? Maggie is a reporter in a small mountain town back when land lines and answering machines were in everyday use. It’s the kind of town where what doesn’t make the news is the real story. She gets involved with the Walkers, a local family with a long police record. Right now their daughter is missing and their grand baby is abandoned. What’s more she finds herself irresistibly attracted to an exciting, lawless man. Maggie spends her time not only trying to dodge her boss and the local police, but trying to reunite with her only child. Throughout it all she remains determined to change before it is too late. Is it possible for a woman to rewrite the story of her life? Dead Lines is set in the borderlands between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Great Basin Desert. It is both a tale of the traditional small American town and the new story of the great American West.
