Southern Lights

Southern Lights

Southern Lights is a breathtaking novel that takes us from the grit and chaos of Manhattan’s criminal court system to the genteel South, a place that Alexa Hamilton left behind after her husband’s betrayal led to a complicated and heartbreaking divorce. Alexa settled in New York, buoyed by a dogged ambition that has finally paid off: She’s become an assistant D.A. known for handling—and winning—only the toughest cases. But Alexa isn’t prepared for the personal cost that could befall her should her prosecution of serial killer Luke Quentin be successful. She’s convinced that despite being behind bars, the vicious psychopath is the one sending letters threatening the welfare of her 17-year-old daughter. With her only child in jeopardy, Alexa makes the difficult decision to send Savannah back to the father she barely knows. Will the city of Charleston, the vanguard of Southern charm and gentility, seduce Savannah as she, too, was once seduced? From the rage of a hardened criminal and the tender bond between mother and daughter, to the still raw grievances of the past, Danielle Steel breaks new ground in this masterfully told tale you won’t soon forget.
