Inhoudsopgave:
A Big Easy policewoman tracks a serial killer determined to root out evil genetics by killing off a line of men in this psychological thriller. Work is a welcome refuge for New Orleans homicide detective Evangeline Theroux. Feeling suffocated by her new baby, in whose eyes she sees only her dead husband, she throws herself into a high-profile murder case. Reclusive writer Lena Saunders offers Evangeline a provocative theory about the crime: it is the work of a lunatic vigilante. Lena spins the sordid story of Ruth and Rebecca Lemay, whose mother brutally murdered her male children in an insane effort to root out an âevilâ gene. The girls survived and grew to adulthoodâbut one is carrying on her motherâs grisly work. When the case takes a terrifyingly personal turn, Evangelineâs whole life will depend on a crucial, impossible choice: the lesser of two evils. |
