Hatchet

a dark sapphic murder mystery
___

Leslie Carson is haunted by memories of the perverse Hatchet Killer who once plagued her small town, and by the unexpected role she played in the subsequent imprisonment of her childhood friend, Ash Teller.

Though years have passed and hundreds of miles have been deliberately placed between Leslie and Elk Point, a daunting retrial culminating in Teller's release soon upends the life she has built far away from home.

When the death of her father, Elk Point's beloved sheriff, compels her reluctant return to bury him and console her grief-stricken mother, Leslie is forced to confront her past as well as a dark, looming promise.

A promise from her former childhood friend and suspected killer to ruin Leslie in every way she knows how, plunging her and the town of Elk Point into a sinister game of survival.
