About the book:
Called "A commanding, disturbing and beautiful masterpiece" and "The
quintessence of the Gothic," The Names of Dead Girls is the latest in
Rickstad's Canaan Crime Series.
In a remote northern Vermont town, college student Rachel Rath is being
watched. She can feel the stranger’s eyes on her, relentless and
possessive. And she’s sure the man watching her is the same man who killed
her mother and father years ago: Ned Preacher, a serial rapist and murderer
who gamed the system to get a light sentence. Now, he’s free.
Detective Frank Rath adopted Rachel, his niece, after the shocking murder of
her parents when she was a baby. Ever since, Rath’s tried to protect her
from the true story of her parents’ deaths. But now Preacher is calling
Rath. He’s threatening Rachel and plotting cruelties for her, of the flesh
and of the mind. When other girls are found brutally murdered, and a woman
goes missing, Rath must untangle the threads that tie these new crimes and
long-ago nightmares together. Soon he'll learn that the truth is more
perverse than anyone could guess, rife with secrets, cruel desires, and
warped, deadly loyalty.
Mesmerizing, startling, and intricately plotted, The Names of Dead Girls
builds relentlessly on its spellbinding premise, luring readers into its dark
and macabre mystery, right to its shocking end.
