Black Hills
by Nora Roberts
A summer at his grandparents' South Dakota ranch
is not eleven-year-old Cooper Sullivan's idea of a good time. But things are a
bit more bearable now that he's discovered the neighbor girl, Lil Chance, and
her homemade batting cage. Even horseback riding isn't as awful as Coop thought
it would be. Each year, with Coop's annual summer visit, their friendship
deepens from innocent games to stolen kisses, but there is one shared
experience that will forever haunt them: the terrifying discovery of a hiker's
body.
As the seasons change and the years roll, Lil
stays steadfast to her aspiration of becoming a wildlife biologist and
protecting her family land, while Coop struggles with his father's demand that
he attend law school and join the family firm. Twelve years after they last
walked together hand in hand, fate has brought them back to the Black Hills
when the people and things they hold most dear need them most.
Coop recently left his fast-paced life as an
investigator in New York to take care for his aging grandparents and the ranch
he has come to call home. Though the memory of his touch still haunts her, Lil
has let nothing stop her dream of opening the Chance Wildlife Refuge, but
something ... or someone ... has been keeping a close watch. When small pranks
and acts of destruction escalate into the heartless killing of Lil's beloved
cougar, recollections of an unsolved murder in these very hills have Coop
springing to action to keep Lil safe.
Lil and Coop both know the natural dangers that
lurk in the wild landscape of the Black Hills. Now they must work together to
unearth a killer of twisted and unnatural instincts who has singled them out as
prey.
