Description
Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. He knows what he has done and awaits the same fate he forced upon those girls years ago. Ansel does not want to die; he wants to be celebrated and understood. But this is not his story. As the clock ticks down, three women uncover the history of a tragedy and the long shadow it casts. Lavender, Ansel’s mother, is a seventeen-year-old girl driven to desperation. Hazel, the twin sister of his wife, is forced to watch helplessly as the relationship threatens to consume them all. And Saffy, the detective pursuing him, is devoted to bringing bad men to justice while struggling to see her own life clearly. This is the story of the women left behind. Blending breathtaking suspense with astonishing empathy, the novel unravels the familiar narrative of the American serial killer, interrogates our cultural obsession with crime stories, and asks readers to consider the false promise of finding meaning in the minds of violent men.
