In the summer of 1958, the Bloodless Murders, so dubbed for the string of human victims found drained of their blood, strikes fear in the Midwest. Through an assured voice and a vividly wrought small-town atmosphere, Blake (the Three Dark Crowns series) swiftly draws readers into this tense historical thriller inspired by a real-life murder spree. As Marie recounts her version of the story, it falls to Michael to find the truth: What really happened the night that the Carlsons were killed? And how did one girl wind up in the middle of all these bodies? Michael didn’t think that he would be part of the investigation, but he is pulled in when Marie decides that he is the only one she will confess to. Marie Catherine Hale, a diminutive fifteen-year-old, was discovered at the scene-covered in blood. Not until the night the Carlson family was found murdered in their home. Michael Jensen, an aspiring journalist whose father happens to be the town sheriff, never imagined that the Bloodless Murders would come to his backyard. A gruesome killer plagues the Midwest, leaving behind a trail of bodies completely drained of blood. In this edge-of-your-seat mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake, the truth is as hard to believe as it is to find. * Indie Next List Pick * Indie Bestseller *
