“A beautifully written serial killer thriller.” ~ Peachy Keen Book Reviews
“A sizzling Southern tale of murder.” ~ Altered Instincts
Summer in South Carolina – a time of ripe peaches, crackling bonfires, trips to the lake, and the rural legend of a creature known as the Lizard Man.
This year, a very real monster is lurking about.
The victims all have one thing in common – they share their names with plants.
Soon it becomes apparent that seventeen-year-olds Dusty Miller and Nandina Bush may be next on the killer’s list.
From Bookbub: “In South Carolina, children swap stories of a monstrous urban legend to liven up a sleepy summer – not realizing a very real predator lurks nearby. When 17-year-old Dusty Miller is marked as a target, he’ll need to untangle kids’ tales from true dangers in the rich Southern mystery.”
