The Cicadas Know Our Names

Kudzu covers what the south would rather forget; the cicadas wing for what refuses to stay buried.

Years ago Jo Mercer and Caroline Bell found a dead boy beneath the vines, and their small North Carolina town decided two girls with secrets made convenient suspects.
After splitting up, Jo decides it's easier to leave behind the painful past. She leaves, but Caroline stays. The killer is never caught.

The kudzu has grown thicker since Jo left; the cicadas are singing louder once she returns.

Something buried beneath all that green remembers their names.
