I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ.
Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were
murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas." As her
family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the
freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she
survived-and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother,
Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison,
and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by
well-wishers who've long forgotten her.
The Kill Club is a macabre secret society obsessed with notorious
crimes. When they locate Libby and pump her for details-proof they
hope may free Ben-Libby hatches a plan to profit off her tragic
history. For a fee, she'll reconnect with the players from that
night and report her findings to the club . . . and maybe she'll
admit her testimony wasn't so solid after all.
As Libby's search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to
abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the narrative flashes back to
January 2, 1985. The events of that day are relayed through the
eyes of Libby's doomed family members-including Ben, a loner whose
rage over his shiftless father and their failing farm have driven
him into a disturbing friendship with the new girl in town. Piece
by piece, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself
right back where she started-on the run from a killer.
