Girl Among Crows

The Door Must Remain Open When two boys disappear from her hometown, Daphne Gauge sees eerie parallels to her brother's disappearance 30 years earlier. What her husband dismisses as graffiti, Daphne fears are symbols harkening to an ancient Norse god. Digging more deeply, she uncovers evidence of the town's belief that sacrifice endows wealth and power. Is this more than a bloodthirsty urban myth? When no one believes her, she considers giving in to the F. B. I.'s request that someone in Daphne's family go on record about what happened in 1988. If she grants an interview, Daphne must confess dark secrets that strike close to home and just might unmask the killer from back then . . . and now. For readers who enjoy Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, Joshilyn Jackson, Riley Sager, Jennifer McMahon, and Simone St. James.
