Reviews
"[Delany] uses a bare-bones style, without literary flash, to achieve artistry as sturdy and restrained as a Shaker chair. Warmth and menace, past and present, are nicely balanced, with a denouement that's equally plausible and startling. This confident performance is sure to win new fans to the series."--Publisher's Weekly, starred review ofWinter of Secrets, "[Delany] uses a bare-bones style, without literary flash, to achieve artistry as sturdy and restrained as a Shaker chair.

Synopsis
Fifteen years ago a young girl named Moonlight Smith went to her best friend Nicky Nowak's house for a sleepover. Moonlight joined the family for breakfast the following morning and was then picked up by her mother. Shortly after, Mr. Nowak went for a walk. He was never seen again. Autumn has arrived on the mountains above Trafalgar, B.C. and Constable Molly "Moonlight" Smith is cuddled by the fireplace with Adam Tocek of the RCMP when Tocek and his dog Norman are called to a wilderness camping ground to join the search for a little boy who sneaked away from his family looking for bears. The child is found, dirty, terrified, weeping, but unharmed. Then the inquisitive Norman digs up something else: human bones. The ID isn't positive, but it is enough to have Sergeant John Winters of the Trafalgar City Police re-open the Brian Nowak investigation. He finds a family shattered beyond recognition. Mrs. Nowak is an empty shell of a woman, dressed in pajamas, never leaving the house. Her son Kyle haunts the streets of Trafalgar at night and spends his days creating beautiful, but highly troubling, art. Nicky Nowak lives in Vancouver and has grown up to be gorgeous, charming, and elegant. Yet behind that fa ade lies a woman whose heart has closed so tightly against human relationships that she comes to Trafalgar trailing in her wake a terrifying threat to another innocent family...., Fifteen years ago a young girl named Moonlight Smith went to her best friend Nicky Nowak's house for a sleepover.

    Incredible seller. Fast response, friendly and honest communication, takes additional photos of books as necessary, books are in incredible condition (perfect really) just as described / photographed, very good pricing as well. Extremely fast shipping, everything packaged well. I buy a lot of rare books and you couldn't ask for more from a seller, happy with all aspects of this transaction. Will not hesitate to purchase from him again.

    Book was incredibly thoughtfully wrapped and shipped out. Item received quickly with excellent care and communication. Highly recommend this seller. Book arrived as described and in beautiful shape. There was no stains, marks, tears or weird musky smells. I am so excited to read this first edition book signed by the lovely and iconic Diane Keaton. Such an excellent find and reasonably priced for a middle class fan. A massive thank you. I have adored her since childhood through my adult years.
