English: Judith McNaught created a tantalizing blend of fiery passion, taut suspense and unforgettable characters" (Rendezvous) in Night Whispers, her ninth splendid New York Times bestseller. Now, McNaught blurs the boundaries of love and danger, reality and dreams in this mesmerizing tale of a contemporary actress caught in a passionate age gone by--and in a heart-pounding run for her life. Leigh Kendall has reached the height of success as an acclaimed Broadway actress. At 32, she's enjoying the intoxicating thrill of opening in a new drama that is the buzz of New York's theater world. Engaged to be married, Leigh is savoring the fruits of her hard work and the passions of her heart. She could never have imagined that all of her fine accomplishments--and even her very life--could be shattered in a moment of sinister violence, or that someone would want to hurt her. But while driving home one night, Leigh meets her destiny head on when her car is forced off the road and plunges into a river. In her last few moments of awareness, as she sinks to the murky depths, Leigh can only question who would do this to her...and when she drifts back to consciousness, she finds herself in a place of danger and fury, a medieval setting as stone-cold and threatening as the steely clash of swords in battle. Leigh had spent her enture career stepping outside of herself to create characters for the stage. But this was no play--this was an alarmingly real scenario that made her blood run cold. As her cloudy impressions emerge with chilling clarity, Leigh realizes that her role in this waking dream is that of prisoner: a medieval lady locked in a game of power and betrayal with a notoriously cruel British warlord. And as she struggles to make sense of her arrival in this all-too-real landscape, Leigh begins to understand that something terrible has happened to her, in the here and now. Attempting to string together clues to where--and who--she is, Leigh discovers she has actually set out on the most suspenseful and compelling mystery of all: solving her own murder. Desperate to distinguish her real world from this nightmare existence, Leigh sprials through a forgotten time and place in search of a way out--for only then can she unmask the killer who has targeted her. And only then can she reclaim her own precious life. Filled with shattering twists and powerful emotion, Water's Edge is a triumph of imagination from JM, one of today's most beloved storytellers. |
