A true crime blogger gets more than she bargained for
while interviewing the woman acquitted of two cold case slayings in this
chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The
Sun Down Motel.
In 1977, Claire Lake, Oregon, was shaken by the Lady Killer Murders: Two men,
seemingly randomly, were murdered with the same gun, with strange notes left
behind. Beth Greer was the perfect suspect--a rich, eccentric
twenty-three-year-old woman, seen fleeing one of the crimes. But she was
acquitted, and she retreated to the isolation of her mansion.
Oregon, 2017. Shea Collins is a receptionist, but by night, she runs a
true crime website, the Book of Cold Cases--a passion fueled by the attempted
abduction she escaped as a child. When she meets Beth by chance, Shea asks her
for an interview. To Shea's surprise, Beth says yes.
They meet regularly at Beth's mansion, though Shea is never comfortable there.
Items move when she's not looking, and she could swear she's seen a girl
outside the window. The allure of learning the truth about the case from the
smart, charming Beth is too much to resist, but even as they grow closer, Shea
senses something isn't right. Is she making friends with a manipulative
murderer, or are there other dangers lurking in the darkness of the Greer
house?
