The debut novel of the author of detective thrillers, instantly became super bestsellers and enthusiastically accepted by such major literary authorities as Stephen King, Val McDermid, Kate Atkinson and other masters of the genre. Camilla Parker, a not-so-lucky reporter for one of Chicago's not-so-successful newspapers, dreams of a brilliant career. And now the girl gets a lucky chance that can dramatically increase her journalistic status - Camille is sent as a correspondent to a small town, where several young girls became the victim of a maniac. Its task is to give readers a sensational message from the scene. The fact is that Camille was born and raised in this city, and therefore it is easier for anyone, if not her, to find a common language with the residents and find out the nuances of the investigation. But immersion in the terrible reality of provincial life turns into a chain of nightmares worthy of Jerome Bosch’s brush.
