Murder Road

It's 1995, and April and Eddie are supposed to be on their honeymoon when a wrong turn takes them down Atticus Line, a lonely country road near Lake Michigan. They stop for an injured young woman walking the shoulder—and she dies before they can get her help. Suddenly the newlyweds are suspects in a case far bigger than one death: six murders over nineteen years along the same road, all shadowed by the ghost of a 'Lost Girl' whose appearance is said to mark whoever sees her next.

To clear their names, April and Eddie must uncover who the Lost Girl was and who has been killing along Atticus Line—a search that leads unnervingly close to Eddie's own past. Simone St. James's Murder Road is an atmospheric, propulsive blend of cold-case thriller and supernatural ghost story, thick with small-town secrets and dread.
