About The Mermaid Killer
"A richly imagined if overwrought cat-and-mouse crime novel." - Kirkus Reviews Holly St. James has always known there was something different about her. . . Haunted by a past of abuse and misery, Holly's delusions drive her to a spree of insatiable crimes. Convinced she is The Mermaid Killer, a mythical figure of unimaginable power, Holly's reality is a twisted landscape where madness and the supernatural collide. Scarlett McNamara, a grizzled detective with her own dark past, is tasked with hunting down this elusive killer. As Scarlett plunges into the investigation, she unearths the fractured depths of Holly's mind. Each step closer to Holly pushes Scarlett deeper into a chilling game of cat-and-mouse. In an unbelievable climax, the boundaries between sanity and madness dissolve, forcing both women to confront their darkest fears. "The Mermaid Killer" is a pulse-pounding thriller that explores trauma, identity, and the fragile line between reality and delusion.
