Sinopsis

From the author of Can't Find My Way Home and Devil's Side Pocket comes a short trip into pyschological terror, the short story... 
 
SCREWDRIVER BOY 
 
Crazy boy, killer boy, 
A screwdriver is his toy 
 
Our narrator is home after years of enjoying the dubious benefits of long-term care at the state mental institution. Screwdriver Boy might be free, but he’s a real mess. He’s stopped taking his meds, he’s having problems with the parental units, a woman is spying on him, and he’s out of Coca-Cola. 
 
Screwdriver Boy can't remember why he was locked up. What awful thing did he do? According to the charming little ditty sung by the neighborhood brats, it’s probably a great idea to keep screwdrivers well out of our narrator’s reach.
Disponible desde: 21/12/2023.

    A missing girl. Decades of silence. A secret too big to bury.

    Her unsolved disappearance is never far from the town’s memory. There’s those who grew up in the shadow of her loss whose own lives were altered forever, and those who know more than they’re saying.  
      
    It just takes an outsider to ask the right questions. 
      
    2018: Katherine Ashworth, shattered by the death of her daughter, moves to her husband’s hometown. Searching for a way to pick up the pieces of her life, she joins the local historical society and becomes obsessed with the three-decades-old mystery. 
      
    As Katherine digs into that summer of 1987, she stumbles upon the trail of a second girl who vanished and was never missed because no one cared enough to see what was happening in plain sight.  
      
    Her trail could lead right to Katherine’s door.  
      
    In a town simmering with divisions and a cast of unforgettable characters, Lowbridge is a heart-wrenching mystery about the girls who are lost, the ones who are mourned and those who are forgotten.
