When five bodies are unearthed beneath a parking lot on the Mississippi Gulf Coast (pre-Katrina), washed-up reporter Carson Lynch is given the story that could resurrect her career.
The bodies have been buried for nearly twenty-five years, but as soon as the grisly remains are unearthed, a new series of murders begin--all targeting young, prospective brides. Carson, who has lost her daughter in an arson because of a previous investigation in Miami, can choose to chase the story--and the killer--or continue to drink.
"Haines's greatest strength is her powerful sense of place: here the miasmic swamp is as alive and as threatening as any villain." Publisher's Weekly on FEVER MOON
"While suspenseful and violent, her literary thriller never loses sight of the poignant story at its heart. Transcending the usual mystery conventions, this is highly recommended." Library Journal on Penumbra (starred review)
