This terrifying new book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel gives a true crime blogger more than she expected while interviewing the lady cleared of two cold case slayings.
Claire Lake, Oregon was rocked by the Lady Killer in 1977. Using the same pistol, two men were killed apparently at random, and odd messages were left in their wake. Beth Greer, a wealthy and quirky twenty-three-year-old who was observed escaping one of the crimes, was the ideal suspect. However, after being found not guilty, she withdrew into her mansion's seclusion.
2017 in Oregon. Receptionist by day, Shea Collins is passionate in real crime, having operated the Book of Cold Cases since she was a young girl and survived an attempted kidnapping. Shea invites Beth for an interview when they cross paths by accident. Beth says yes, much to Shea's amazement.
Shea never feels at ease in Beth's estate, even though they meet there often. When she isn't looking, things move, and she is certain she has seen a girl outside the window. Shea finds it impossible to resist the temptation of getting the truth about the case from the intelligent, endearing Beth, but even as they become closer, Shea has a feeling that something is up. Is she befriending a cunning killer, or are there more threats hiding in the Greer residence's shadows?
