For two years, a string of homicidal drownings of teen girls terrorized a small, lonely Minnesotan town on the coast of Lake Superior.  Once a close-knit community, Midpointe drastically changed overnight as everyone turned into suspects and a generation of girls are locked behind closed doors. 

No one was ever charged.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                
A fifteen-year-old Lylah Lovelace was the one that found the first victim, one of her childhood best friends. The murders along with general small-town restlessness drove her out of town just hours after her high school graduation, swearing never to look back. 

Now 22 and fresh out of college, Lylah figures its time to face her ghosts and reluctantly agrees to return for the summer to watch her sister while their parents go on a cross-country RV trip. Just as the town and Lylah feel as if they might be recovering, another body shows up. 

And the killer might be closer to Lylah than she could ever imagine.Todos os Direitos Reservados

Vanished (ONC 2023), de Voyageavecmoi

Until recently, Mia's biggest challenge was attracting visitors to a province whose unsolved crime rate keeps climbing. After her Bear Claw Lake ice fishing tourism campaign gets axed because a body was discovered, an unusual stranger offers her unconventional help to catch a potential serial killer. Even with his help and that of her childhood friend from the affected community, the clues leave Mia with more questions than answers. But she must discover the truth to keep the province safe, get justice for the victims and save her job. Trigger warning: This story is related mature because there are brief mentions of the suicide of a family member having an effect on a supporting character as well as one scene that flashes back to child abuse in the form of neglect resulting in a near-death experience.
