Overview
Danger wears many faces....Ten years ago Rachel Grant's fiancé, Thomas, disappeared. His body was never found. Now there's a stranger in town, a man who could be Thomas's twin--or his ghost.
His name is Adam Delafield. He's been watching Rachel for days. He has the locket she gave Thomas before he vanished. And he says he owed her father three million dollars.
But there's no record of the loan—or a shred of proof that Adam is who he claims to be. And he's always nearby as accidents begin to threaten Rachel's life.
Is he an innocent man who only wants to repay a debt? Or a figure from the past with a score to settle? Rachel must expose lies and unravel stories, find out who wants her dead and why...before the next attempt to kill her succeeds.
Synopsis
Has anyone noticed that author Kay Hooper's work has become increasingly dark? Not that we would have it any other way. With Hunting Rachel, Hooper once again serves up a deliciously gothic suspense tale. Rachel Grant's fiancé, Thomas, vanished before their wedding day, and has long been presumed dead. Now, ten years later, a series of suspicious accidents threaten to send Rachel to the grave as well -- and, not so coincidentally, a new man has entered Rachel's life, one who looks exactly like her long-lost lover.
Library Journal
Rachel Grant's fiance, Thomas, was lost in the jungles of South America ten years ago, just before their wedding, and she has never found another man to replace him. After her parents die in a plane crash, Rachel begins to catch glimpses of a man who looks very much like Thomas, always right before suspicious accidents threaten her life. As the threats become more deadly and Rachel comes to know the mysterious stranger who resembles her dead lover, messages that seem to come from beyond the grave warn her away. Fans of Barbara Michaels will enjoy Hooper's latest Gothic mystery (which follows Finding Laura, Bantam, 1997), though the touches of the supernatural here are not as integral to the plot.
