The third book in the Blackwater series. Perdido, 1928. Torn apart by the continuing tensions between Mary-Love and her daughter-in-law Elinor, the Caskey family must also confront other crises.

As the economy plummets and relationships sour, something sinister is prowling the darkest recesses of the Caskey household. Patient, implacable, waiting to catch its next victim in its deadly web…

'Epic, gargantuan, [a] breathtaking masterpiece.'

'Excellent! This series keeps on getting better.'

'This slice of life, supernatural Southern Gothic is a must read! It is everything that horror fans got into reading for, and so much more.'
