Fans of Mare of Easttown will love this one!" - Edwin Hill, author of WHO TO BELIEVEIn 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.Author: Emily RossPublisher: Galiot PressPublished: 11/18/2025Pages: 332Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.76lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.74dISBN13: 9798998954733BISAC Categories:- Fiction | Mystery & Detective | Police Procedural- Fiction | Mystery & Detective | Women Sleuths- Fiction | Thrillers | CrimeThis title is not returnable Show more
