Award-winning author Suzanne Chazin returns with a stirring novel of deadly misdeeds and heartbreaking choices in a seasoned homicide copβs hometown.
A split-second decision thrusts Detective Jimmy Vega into the epicenter of a disturbing case when a body is found near a gathering place for immigrants in upscale Lake Holly, New York. The cold-bloodedness of the crime and the innocence of the victim torment Vega. But so does the feeling that heβs to blame. Could the ravings of a delusional vagrant hold the key to the killing? And if so, why canβt the police locate him?
In a community gripped by fear of deportation, Vega needs the help of his girlfriend, activist Adele Figueroa, to gain peopleβs trust. But Adele is acting strangely, consumed by a secret that threatens to tear them apart. When the case takes a personal turn, both Vega and Adele discover that Lake Hollyβs tranquil faΓ§ade hides a terror of monstrous proportions, poised and ready to strike again. To confront the killer and save their relationship, Vega and Adele must forge a new level of trustβin each other, and in their most deeply held beliefsβto expose an evil that threatens to eclipse anything theyβd previously imagined.
Written with equal parts passion and suspense, A Blossom of Bright Light takes readers on a journey of stunning revelations to uncover a small townβs most sinister secretsβand brightest hopes for the future. Mystery, sacrifice, and unremitting love converge in this gripping work by a master storyteller.
