From award-winning author Meg Gardiner, co-author of Michael Mann’s Heat 2 --Evan Delaney knew China Lake was a tough place to grow up. But she never knew how tough until now.  She returns to the desert military base for her high school reunion, and learns that a number of her classmates have died young. Then, on the first night of the reunion, another one dies, this one savagely butchered. And she’s just the first. Someone has an axe to grind and Evan’s graduating class has something to fear.
