What you need to know before your trail

Chloe Davis’ father is a serial killer.
He was convicted and jailed when she was twelve but the bodies of the girls were never found, seemingly lost in the surrounding Louisiana swamps. The case became notorious and Chloe’s family was destroyed. Now Chloe has rebuilt her life. She’s a respected psychologist in Baton Rouge and has a loving fiancé.
But she just can’t shake a tick-tick-tick of paranoia that, at any moment, it might all come crashing down. It is the anniversary of her father’s crimes, and Chloe is about to see her worst fears come true –
a girl she knows goes missing.

The nightmare has started again…

Travel Guide

Discover Baton Rouge and the Louisiana Swamps

The location of Baton Rouge and  Breaux Bridge where the action takes place is nicely evoked with its swamps, areas to go missing in, woodland stretching for miles and a place where it is hard to find someone.

We all have perceptions of the area from stories such as Midnight in the Garden of Evil and this book is referenced in the novel itself. This state of America is known for swamps, gothic statues, the mythical and the mysterious, black magic and has many legends attached to it.

All of this creates a creepy and sinister setting.
