  Mid-August 1975, Maurice “Mo” Lumen is exiled from his home in Virginia, bearing the weight of what he’s left behind—accusations, a half-brother, and an inhospitable cot. With the mind and heart of an eleven-year-old—the result of a self-described “accident”—and a love of baseball, Mo emerges in Rhode Island just shy of his twenty-fifth birthday. As summer yields to a rain-soaked fall, his frustration rises when news of a prolific killer in the region, nicknamed the Pastoral Predator, overshadows the Red Sox march to the World Series, and Mo unwittingly becomes a central figure in the investigation.  
  FBI Chief Investigator Francis Palmer, fresh off the ensnarement of a monster—Ted Bundy—is thrust into the Pastoral Predator’s destructive path. Permanently scarred by every killer he’s hunted down, The Beast inside Palmer simmers as the investigation hits closer to home, forcing him to confront his demons.  
  By the time Mo and Palmer’s paths collide, a dozen young women are dead. As the list of suspects narrows, Palmer’s confidence is shaken, and Mo begins to doubt his own innocence. Unable to escape their histories, they become increasingly isolated, and old secrets resurface. Who is destined to pay for the sins of their fathers, and who will pay for their own? 
  A Disturbing Nature is a psychological thriller and coming-of-age story that examines Post- World War II America, exploring the heredity of prejudice, the hypocrisy of privilege, and the blurred line between man and monster.

  Elena: When my candy bowl gets stolen by a mischievous teenager on Halloween, I march across the street to confront the girl's father. I expect him to apologize and make his daughter give it back. Not only does the gorgeous single dad—who I've enjoyed watching mow his lawn without a shirt more times than I'd like to admit—deny the whole thing and take his daughter's side, but he's extremely rude to me. I should let it go, but something about his self-righteous attitude strikes a nerve. So I steal something from him to get even. And end up starting a war. 
   
   
   
  Grant: I'm too old to be pulling pranks on my neighbor. But when I see the smile it brings to my daughter's face, I'll do anything to keep her from reverting back to slamming her bedroom door and yelling that I don't understand her. Being a single parent is hard, and being a father to a hormonal teenage girl is something else entirely. It has always been just the two of us, but I'm starting to realize that I might not be enough to help her as she turns into a young woman. Which is why I call a truce with the beautiful blonde across the street and allow her to tutor my daughter instead. I'm not prepared for the bond they create, and I'm definitely not prepared for the way my body reacts whenever she's around. Somehow, my enemy just turned into much more . . .
