If you listen hard enough.... Diablo Springs-Once a boomtown of gamblers, outlaws and miners. Now a place where shifting sands whisper only of torment and loss. A place where shadows lure the unsuspecting into its abyss. It's where Gracie Beck was raised, but she never called it home. When she left that place, she never looked back... you will hear their whispered warnings.... Now Gracie finds she's inherited the Diablo Hotel from her grandmother and, with it, a curse that has haunted her family for over a hundred years. As she begins to unearth long-buried secrets, she unleashes a force that threatens everyone she cares about. And when the one man she has tried to forget unexpectedly returns to Diablo Springs to find inspiration for his next novel, Gracie knows that a dark and desperate chapter in the story of her family must be written. 4 1/2 stars: Quinn is an author to watch.
