Description
From the award-winning author of Trace of Evil, a detective dealing with the scars of her past must solve a seemingly unconnected string of murders, and face the impossible question of what to do when the killer may be hiding amongst the ones you know, in Alice Blanchard's The Wicked Hour. "Readers will welcome a return to Burning Lake with Natalie at the helm."-Associated Press "Lockhart is a relatable new heroine on the police-procedural scene, and one who will appeal to readers of Tana French."-Booklist The day after Burning Lake's notorious, debauched Halloween celebration, Detective Natalie Lockhart uncovers a heartbreaking scene-a young woman, dead and lying in a dumpster. There's no clue to who she is, save for a mystifying tattoo on her arm, and a callus underneath her chin. She's not from around here. No one knows who she is. As Natalie retraces the young woman's steps leading up to her death, she uncovers a deeper, darker horror-a string of murders and disappearances, seemingly unconnected, that may have ties to each other-and explain the abrupt disappearance of her best friend years ago. As she digs deeper within the mind of the hunter, Natalie finds a darkness she could never have imagined. And as she draws closer to the truth, the killer is weaving a trap for her that may prove inescapable.
The discovery of a body on the morning after Halloween in an isolated New England town propels this compelling, character-driven follow-up to award-winning Alice Blanchard's Trace of Evil.
