Book Description:
Sennie
Lacefield has always felt safe at her family’s peaceful mountain lodge . . .
The only break
in her tranquil life was the death of her boyfriend Patrick Devon, which left
her heartbroken and unable to understand Patrick’s sullen, withdrawn brother
Lonnie. But when her best friend Reatha Alcoker disappears, her sense of
security is shattered. With the help of Reatha’s boyfriend Milo Durham, she
launches a search for her friend.
More girls
disappear, and bodies begin turning up . . .
When one of
the missing girls is found dead in a swamp with a symbol burned into her
forehead, Sennie focuses on her growing list of suspects. She can’t count on
help from the lazy, lecherous Sheriff Warford Cackley. She also has suspicions
the sheriff’s son Rex and his nasty friend Ottis know more than they’re willing
to share.
Someone is
watching Sennie’s every move . . .
Refusing to
believe Reatha is dead, Sennie and Milo continue their frantic search, and
Sennie is plagued with threatening messages. When another girl’s body is
discovered, she and Milo visit the site and find evidence that Reatha has also
been there. Some aerial photographs might hold a vital clue . . . if they can
find them in time.
As Sennie
unravels a tangled web of secrets, arson, burglary, and murder, could it be
that a desire to help Sennie has warped the mind of a murderer?
A Short Excerpt
Anxiety
ran its swift edge through her stomach without warning as she turned to gaze
across the lake and into the surrounding dense forest.
Someone is
watching me. I wish I could see through the trees. They could be anywhere.
She rubbed her hand
down the length of her arm. There was no movement, except for the gentle
swaying of the trees as the early dawn breeze rustled their needles and thick,
green leaves. She turned forward, but the uneasy feeling didn’t pass. Someone
was watching her. The chestnut brown hairs on the back of her neck, just under
her long ponytail, prickled.
Evil is on the prowl, waiting for the
right moment to pounce on me.
Bringing her knees to her chest, a ripple
of fear dotted her spine, making her skin crawl. The first time she had
experienced this feeling was in May, the week school had ended for summer
break. The rumors about two girls who had gone missing stayed in the back of
her mind. It wasn’t unusual for girls to run off from the small town of
Mayrose, Arkansas. They would most likely be found in Little Rock, sad and
miserable because city life hadn’t turned out the way they had thought it
would. But so far, no one had been able to track down the two latest missing
girls. That was unusual.
