On the twentieth deathiversary for her sister Willow—murdered by her boyfriend—Burning Lake Detective Natalie Lockhart discovers another murder. Daisy Buckner was not only the best friend of Natalie’s surviving sister, Grace, but also the pregnant wife of fellow detective, Brandon.
Because Daisy was a high school teacher, Natalie finds herself drawn into the lives of teenagers in Burning Lake, where joining a coven is a rite of adolescence. At the same time, Natalie is suddenly finding clues in the nine cold cases she’s charged with investigating.
Burning Lake is such an evocative setting—an upstate New York town trying to reinvent itself as a tourist destination as it fights the types of crime indigenous to small towns with no industry. Full of suspense and shocking revelations, Trace of Evil is impossible to put down.
