From a unique new talent comes a fast-paced debut,
introducing a heroine whose dark visions bring to light secrets that
will heal or destroy those around her...
When New York journalist and recently bereaved mother
Charlotte “Charlie” Cates begins to experience vivid dreams about
children she’s sure that she’s lost her mind. Yet these are not the
nightmares of a grieving parent, she soon realizes. They are messages
and warnings that will help Charlie and the children she sees, if only
she can make sense of them.
After a little boy in a boat appears
in Charlie’s dreams asking for her help, Charlie finds herself entangled in a thirty-year-old missing-child case that has never ceased to haunt
Louisiana’s prestigious Deveau family. Armed with an invitation to
Evangeline, the family’s sprawling estate, Charlie heads south, where
new friendships and an unlikely romance bring healing. But as she
uncovers long-buried secrets of love, money, betrayal, and murder, the
facts begin to implicate those she most wants to trust — and her visions
reveal an evil closer than she could’ve imagined.
A Southern Gothic
mystery debut that combines literary suspense and romance with a
mystical twist, The Gates of Evangeline is a story that readers of Gillian Flynn, Kate Atkinson, and Alice Sebold won't be able to put down.
