Freefall
Sorenson rushes back into romantic suspense with this tale set in a California wilderness area. Olympic star Sam Rutherford, last seen comatose, clutching his fiancée’s ashes, has regained consciousness but not his memories prior to the freeway collapse in Aftershock (2013). He’s become a recluse in Sierra National Park, but unfortunately doesn’t know anything that will be helpful to ranger Hope Banning when a plane crashes on a remote mountain top. Hope’s sister, Faith, is visiting, and they planned to go whitewater rafting together. Hope is reluctant to let Faith, who isn’t an outdoorsy person, go alone on the trip, but she has no choice. When Hope gets to the crash site, she’s dismayed to find the pilot shot to death and a stash of drugs. Meanwhile, the rafting group gains a new member. Fearing that this man is the killer, Hope and Sam race to save Faith. Sorenson’s latest headlong wilderness adventure will make readers’ hearts race again. --Pat Henshaw
