-Lynn, Goodreads In 1914, Maryelaina Lemberg is a pioneer female detective from Boston investigating a gruesome series of murders throughout New England along a notoriously dangerous stretch of road called Hemlock Highway. A woman has been arrested for the murder of her husband - a murder that bears the hallmarks of Mary's serial killer. But the woman in jail is much too small to carry out the violence required to dismember and carry the remains. When police get wind of Mary's investigation, she's forced to leave town. But Mary vows not only to track down the killer, but to prove the imprisoned woman's innocence. Mary teams up with a Pinkerton detective who is investigating a man's disappearance, a man who has vanished in similar fashion to Mary's victims. They work together as more bodies appear inside the burgeoning city of Ardmore, a town plagued by a bloody gang war. As the gangs fight for control of the city, with Mary and the police caught in the crossfire, Mary learns of a dark conspiracy that has operated in secret for decades. There are monsters that even the gangs dare not speak of. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Mary risks life and limb at the hands of a cruel and savage monster operating from the shadows. Mary ventures into the Massachusetts forests in pursuit of the killer at the heart of this bloody crusade and to bring the nightmare to an end - once and for all.
