A Moth to Flame

"Hard as nails, heart-hammering prose punctuated with a lot of heart."

Eryk Pruitt, author of Something Bad Wrong

The story of two sisters, Lydia-and Jessica Barrett, who is found dead at the bottom of a ravine in 1991 after attending a protest in support of a recently fired, popular teacher.

Twenty-five years later, Lydia, who suffers from nyctophobia (a fear of the night), is a coroner's investigator on the graveyard shift in Los Angeles. A promotion to medical examiner awaits.. If Lydia can conquer her fear of the dark. Early one morning Lydia encounters a woman, whose neck has been broken like her sister's. Checking a missed voicemail, Lydia hears a message from the dead woman who claims to have information about Jess.

In the modern vein of authors such as Jeffrey Deaver, Paula Hawkins, and Tana French, A MOTH TO FLAME tells the story of a woman in a man's world, set against the illusion of perfect suburban lives that are anything but, populated with the scariest monsters of all: the ones right in front of our faces that we cannot see through the dark.
