  USA TODAY BESTSELLER • R. K. Jackson’s lyrical, twisty psychological thriller follows an aspiring journalist who uncovers dark secrets in a windswept Southern town—guided by a mysterious outcast and hunted by a ruthless killer.  
  Perfect for fans of Alice Feeney, Megan Miranda, and Tana French, this acclaimed suspense novel comes alive in a tour de force performance by celebrated narrator Hillary Huber. 
  When Martha Covington moves to Amberleen, Georgia, after her release from a psychiatric ward, she thinks her breakdown is behind her. A small town with a rich history, Amberleen feels like a fresh start. Taking a summer internship with the local historical society, Martha is tasked with gathering the stories of the Geechee residents of nearby Shell Heap Island, the descendants of slaves who have lived by their own traditions for the last three hundred years. 
  As Martha delves into her work, the voices she thought she left behind start whispering again, and she begins to doubt her recovery. When a grisly murder occurs, Martha finds herself at the center of a perfect storm—and she’s the perfect suspect. Without a soul to vouch for her innocence or her sanity, Martha disappears into the wilderness, battling the pull of madness and struggling to piece together a supernatural puzzle of age-old resentments, broken promises, and cold-blooded murder. She finds an unexpected ally in a handsome young man fighting his own battles. With his help, Martha journeys through a terrifying labyrinth—to find the truth and clear her name, if she can survive to tell the tale.

  Susan Keating Glaspell was born on July 1st, 1876 in Davenport, Iowa.  
   
  Glaspell, a precocious child, was an active student at Davenport High School.  By 18 she was earning a salary at the local newspaper as a journalist, and by 20 she was the author of a weekly 'Society' column.  
   
  At 21 she enrolled for Philosophy at Drake University, in Des Moines, where she excelled in debate competitions, and represented them at the state tournament.  
   
  After graduation, Glaspell again worked as a reporter, still a rare position for a woman, and assigned to cover the state legislature and murder cases.

She wrote 12 plays over 7 years for the company. By 1918 Glaspell was considered one of America's most significant new playwrights. Despite its success theatre work did not make financial sense and she continued to submit short stories in order to support her and her husband during their years with the theater.
