A Chilling Millhaven Murder Mirrors Unsolved Childhood Crimes and Dark Vietnam War Memories

Traumatized writer Tim Underhill returns to his hometown of Millhaven, Illinois, when the brutal murder of a friend's wife echoes the unsolved "Blue Rose" killings from his childhood. Teaming up with private investigator John Ransom, Underhill digs into the town's sinister history, confronting buried memories from his past and military service in Vietnam.

As hidden horrors come to light, Underhill realizes that the quiet streets of Millhaven conceal a deep-rooted evil that never truly died.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Peter Straub blends psychological horror, atmospheric noir mystery, and haunting character study in this Bram Stoker Award-winning finale to the Blue Rose Trilogy. A 1994 Signet paperback for fans of Stephen King, Thomas Harris, and complex crime fiction.
