A Southern Psychological Thriller of Inherited Trauma and a Copycat Killer

Chloe Davis spent twenty years trying to outrun the summer she turned twelve—the year her father confessed to murdering six teenage girls in their small Louisiana town. Now a clinical psychologist in Baton Rouge, her curated stability shatters when local girls begin vanishing. The disappearances mirror her father's exact methods, forcing Chloe into a desperate investigation. She must determine if a true copycat is actively hunting, or if her own deeply rooted trauma is distorting her reality.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Stacy Willingham delivers a claustrophobic psychological thriller built on the foundation of a highly unreliable narrator and intense domestic suspense. This Southern mystery relies on the tension of an active serial killer investigation blended with a character-driven exploration of family secrets, delivering a twist-heavy puzzle for fans of dark, atmospheric tension.
