The Boslone Institute for Mental Health and Wellness houses the children of some of the most influential people in the world. Boasting of its seclusion and privacy factors on the little known and remote island of Boslone, the hospital is considered to be the best place to be for troubled kids.
Until two nearly identical girls turn up dead less than two weeks apart.
With both media and actual storms approaching, the understaffed and unqualified detectives of the island's tiny (and less than ethical) police station soon find themselves drawn into a case they can't solve on their own. As the media closes in and the island prepares for a storm of its own, they soon realize that what appear to be serial murders may be more than they ever imagined.
Thank you to Aleks for the cover, I think she did an awesome job.
