Overview
"Set on the gritty streets of Quincy, Massachusetts, Emily Ross's SWALLOWTAIL delivers the goods, bringing rich atmosphere, deep characterization, plenty of '90s nostalgia, and a taut storyline that will keep you turning pages well into the night. Fans of Mare of Easttown will love this one " - Edwin Hill, author of WHO TO BELIEVE
In the gritty seaside town of Quincy, Massachusetts, the killing of a teenager on her daughter's dance team plunges Detective Samantha Star into the trauma of her abduction twenty years before. As clues point to a serial killer obsessed with Surrealism and Greek myth, Sam must unravel the mystery of her own kidnapping to solve the crime--before her daughter is next. At stake are not just the teenagers' lives, but also Sam's identity as a detective and an artist, and a community's chance at healing. SWALLOWTAIL is the moving story of a woman's journey to free herself from the trauma of her past, and a thought-provoking exploration of violent representations of women in myth and art.
