The Reckoning

Kelli Stanley

"California, Southern Humboldt County, 1985. Renata Drake steps off a Greyhound bus and into small-town Garberville, hoping to disappear. She checks the papers. She's not headline news. Not yet. But she's made a mistake. The FBI have the cannabis-producing "Emerald Triangle" town - and its corrupt residents - in their sights. Even worse, a teenage girl is missing, and when she turns up dead, the third in three years, it's clear a serial killer is living among them. Renata knows about murdered girls and the burning desire for justice - and for revenge. Her younger sister Josie is gone, and now, so is theman who killed her. Renata didn't stay in Washington, D.C. arrested for executing a murderer, and she shouldn't stay here either. But Renata decides to investigate, and what she uncovers will trigger a final reckoning: For herself, for a killer, and for all of Southern Humboldt." - Page 2 of cover
