Reseña del libro "Too Many Coincidences at Pinnacle Point (en Inglés)"
TOO MANY COINCIDENCES IN PINNACLE POINT: Looks like a great place for a Vermont farmer to retire to, until . . ."Loved the fast moving novel with twist and turns. Another great book to read. Looking forward to more books by the author!"Anita Henley.On his first night in Pinnacle Point, seventy-one year old Vermont farmer Hugh Winters, Senator Samuel Winter's father, is attacked. Three nights later, old scores are settled with Samuel's former bodyguard, Elizabeth Guitierrez Santoni Ware, leaving her beaten within an inch of her life. If the bad guys find out she's alive, they'll try again but first they'll have to get through Hugh and Elizabeth's "Cuban" godfather from Miami, as well as a Maine coon cat who has become her protector.To some, the sleepy village of Pinnacle Point looks like the perfect place to set up an international drug smuggling operation. Then the FBI, NSA, and DEA show up. Coincidences? Sex and violence, drugs, old allies, and new lovers swirl in this tale of murder and suspense."What?" Hugh demanded as he flung open the front door.Bam! The door slammed back against him pushing him off-balance! Then, thud! A fist hit him solidly in the chest. His knees buckled. He fell backwards to a sitting position on the floor.Dazed, he saw the legs of two men brush past him. One man stopped a few feet into the living room. Hugh heard the footsteps of soft-sole shoes going further into the house, then back again.He heard one man growl, "Wrong goddamn house." Then a dry, hacking cough."The cat curled around Beth's ankle, lying on her foot. She picked the cat up, cuddling it in the crook of her left arm, petting it with her right.When Hugh saw the size of the animal, he exclaimed, 'Good Gawd, it's a Maine coon cat.'Beth was surprised. 'Really? Well, she's a long way from home then, isn't she?'"Hugh followed the whining down the shore. A few steps and he spotted Cat, sitting on its haunches, still whining. Next to Cat sticking out of the weeds and branches of shrubs was something red. A few more steps and Hugh recognized the Chinese robe.""He bent down. He swallowed hard as he discovered what he hoped for and feared to find. Beth. Her limp body, face down, was practically indistinguishable beneath the robe, entangled in broken branches. He gently placed two fingers on her neck, hardly daring to hope. There was a pulse; faint but beating.""He stood at the head of the bed gun in hand watching Beth sleep. He wouldn't need the gun. He tucked it in his belt. He reached for her neck with both hands.Cat sprang from a corner, snarling and hissing, claws out. Jake turned at the unexpected attack. Cat's claws pierced Jake's shirtsleeve. It's mouth pulled back, its eyes wide with demonic intent. Jake screamed involuntarily as Cat drew blood."This is the third novel in the Pinnacle Point trilogy, bringing back some familiar characters from the first book, Mid-Life Friends and Illusions.
