MOTHER. LIAR. MURDERER?

In the sleepy Lousiana town of Bayou Breaux, a mother runs to her neighbour -
bloody and hysterical. The police arrive to find Genevieve Gauthier cradling
her seven-year-old son in her arms as he bleeds to death.

Detective Nick Fourcade finds no evidence of a break-in. His partner Detective
Annie Broussard is troubled by parts of Genevieve's story that don't make
sense. Twenty four hours later teenager Nora Florette is reported missing.
Local parents fear a maniac is preying on their children, and demand answers
from the police.

Fourcade and Broussard discover something shocking about Genevieve's past. She
is both victim and the accused; a grieving mother and a woman with a deadly
secret. Could she have something to do with the disappearance of teenager Nora
Florette?

If you're already a fan you'll love THE BOY. If you haven't read a Tami Hoag
book yet: now is the perfect time to start.

THE BITTER SEASON is Tami Hoag at her down and dirty best. Authentic, dark and
intense, this is a portrait of flawed characters on both sides of the law that
will surprise you and make you laugh as you double-lock your doors.' - Tess
