How can the white cloth be rid of its crimson stain when it's being washed in the blood of the lamb?
Kitty has learned to survive by staying invisible-an unremarkable face drifting between cheap motels and cigarette-laced parking lots. But when she crosses paths with Abaddon, a man haunted by sins he can't wash away, they stand to learn a mutual lesson that solitude does not equate to fortitude.
A single night of shared violence sets off a chain reaction that will forever tie them together. With a street cat as their witness and a tenebrous commune as their refuge, Kitty and Don must reshape the shadows of their past-and discover if redemption can be found in shades of crimson.
Gritty, atmospheric, and unflinching, Bleed the Lamb is a story about vindication, the lure of escape, and the stains we can never erase.
