Alecto Gray Will Hunt You Down

A darkly funny contemporary thriller with echoes of Promising Young Woman, Donnie Darko and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

When a boy in her town starts claiming that a demon is stalking him – Alecto Landry has no choice but to investigate. After all, that’s exactly what her brother Lucas said, right before he died…

Soon, Alecto’s investigation leads her to a far-reaching conspiracy – with two warring factions at its heart – as she uncovers a sinister underbelly to her small seaside town.

Armed only with her razor-sharp wit and a talent for getting into trouble, Alec endures threats and kidnappings, and even the spark of a new romance, in order to get to the truth.

But can she handle the truth or will the twisted darkness at the heart of the mystery destroy her as well?
