"It begins with a lost child found wandering alone through a California housing development, her pajamas splattered with blood. The little girl's trail leads Decker to a nearby bee farm, where he discovers that almost the entire Darcy family has been gruesomely slaughtered, and the motive behind their murder is lost in a sticky mess of blood, sex, and honey.
