Serial Killer Summer (A 3-Day Novel)

In the summer of 1992, there was a serial killer on the loose in the big city. Lucky for Kerry, she got to escape to her favourite place on earth, Camp Big Spirit, where she was head of nature programming. But did trouble follow her to paradise? First, Kerry spotted a mysterious man and his dog living in the woods. Then a young girl went missing from a nearby campground. When Camp Big Spirit was suddenly evacuated for a "public safety" issue, it seemed certain that danger was their midst.

In the present day, Kerry visits the remains of Camp Big Spirit and relives her final summer there: the changes big and small, the relationships that mattered most, and the end of the best years of her life.
