Publisher's Synopsis
When two young girls are abducted and killed, Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town of Wind Gap to report on the crimes. Since leaving town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to her beautiful 13-year-old half-sister with an eerie grip on the town. Haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to forget, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims as she works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes. Dogged by her own demons, she must confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.
