Broken Chain Part Three: Entrapment (ePub)

A fast-moving small-town family story in the tradition of Mary Higgins Clark.

It would be foolish to underestimate Lizzy Baker.

It's 1970. Brody has stayed away from Lizzy for two years and she is determined to lure him back. Clever and devious, Lizzy understands small town politics of the time. She also knows how to manipulate the people in Brody's life.

Danny Pringle, the owner of the general store, has health problems. Brody has abandoned his grocery route in order to help him out. While larger towns and cities now embrace department store chains, Pringle's General Store still services Granger's Crossing, selling everything from local produce to farm supplies. It's convenient for Brody to leave his old grocery truck parked behind the building to gather rust - it gives him a reason to avoid Lizzy Baker's farm.

Yet Brody still struggles with his disturbing attraction to Lizzy. He doesn't understand it, especially when Lizzy is the one person in his life who eludes his psychic perceptions person who ruthlessly betrayed him. In spite of his resolution to avoid her, Lizzy's magnetic pull draws him closer.

Brody's empathic ability has increased. When he's confronted with fear or hatred from other people, the feelings are so powerful that the associated pain is crippling. He's convinced that he's losing his mind, especially when his recurring nightmares won't let him rest. A vague danger hovers over Tricia Porter and Brody can't reason away his concern for her.

Unknown to Brody, Tricia is constantly seeing the ghost of her aunt, even during her waking moments. Something happened to the woman, something terrifying, and Tricia's sleep is as fitful as Brody's. Brody tries to shield her from his turmoil by pushing her out of his life, leaving Tricia with no one to turn to except her brother Taylor. Yet Taylor has troubles of his own and they're growing larger every day.

Broken Chain: Entrapment is the third part of the Broken Chain Saga.
