Детектив Абиш "Эбби" Тейлор вернулась в городок Pleasant View, штат Юта, надеясь на спокойную жизнь. Но эта надежда исчезает, как сон, когда она просыпается от тревожного телефонного звонка. Прибыв на место смертельной автомобильной аварии, она обнаруживает, что жертва была одним из самых любимых лидеров Церкви и старым семейным другом. Эбби сомневается, когда ее отец утверждает, что смерть была неслучайной, но в попытке восстановить свои отношения она берет несколько дней отпуска со своей работы единственным детективом в полицейском управлении и отправляется в колонию Хуарес, бывшую колонию Церкви в Мексике. Там она раскрывает заговор, восходящий к истории полигамии Церкви. Но Эбби хорошо знает, что раскрытие секретов может быть смертельно. Возможно, поэтому погиб друг отца? Эбби осознает с потрясением, что ее расследование может стоить отцу его работы и, возможно, привести к его исключению из церкви. Кто является мастермайндом этого тайного заговора? Время истекает для Эбби, чтобы спасти позицию своего отца и свою собственную жизнь, поскольку темные силы приближаются, и перспективы для Pleasant View становятся явно неприятными.
Death in the Convalescence - an Abish Taylor Mur ery, Book Two (with Audio) by D.A. Bartle — Available now! Here's the blurb received when I ordered this book:
Abish "Abby" Taylor returns to the sleepy town of Pleasent View, WY, hopeing for a quieter life. That hope evaporates as soon as she answers a disturbing phone call and arrives at a deadly tiller-accident scene. She discovers that one of town's most respected community members has been killed, and she can't help but wonder who would do such a thing. On top of that, her father, Matt, tells her it must have been an accident. To make matters worse, Abby's job as sole P.D. investigator will be affected if she brings her suspicions to light. Hoping her doubts will prove to be wrong, Abby goes to spend a few days in Jenamillo, Mexico, some place she'd always wanted to go, to get her thoughts in order. It'll give her time to question the individual friends she met on a family vacation there four years ago, especially an intriguing young monk named Julio Valdes. What they might have talked about during those leisurely chats might not only answer Abby's questions, but put her life in serious jeopardy. As Melissa Foster, the recently discharged anesthesiologist whom Abby had become attracted to, reveals from my reading summary, "the case is one she'll never forget."

Описание книги от D. A. Bartley
Detective Abish «Abbie» Taylor returned to the mountain town of Pleasant View, Utah, hoping for a quiet life. But that hope dissipates like a dream when she wakes up to an unsettling phone call. Arriving at the scene of a fatal car accident, she discovers that the victim was one of the most beloved leaders of the Church – and an old family friend. Abbie is skeptical when her father insists the death was not an accident, but in an attempt to patch up their relationship, she takes a few days off from her job as the sole detective in the police department and heads to Colonia Juárez, a former LDS colony in Mexico. There, she uncovers a plan hearkening back to the Church's history of polygamy. But Abbie knows too well that bringing secrets to light can be deadly. Is that why her father's friend died? Abbie realizes with a jolt that her investigation could cost her father his job and possibly get him excommunicated. Who is the murderous mastermind of this secret plot? Time is running out for Abbie to save her father's position – and her own life – as dark forces close in, and the outlook for Pleasant View turns decidedly unpleasant.
