Book 4 in The Diamond and Stones Mystery series

Michelle McNamara and her ten-year-old daughter, Linda, are stopped on a lonely Oregon road. It is their first…

… and last mistake.

Linda begs her mother to go, to drive, because in the harsh moonlight, she has seen something… someone beside the side of the road.

And now whoever or whatever it is, has reappeared behind their car. A white-gloved hand, already stained in red, is working its way toward the driver’s door.

In a few minutes, an incident will occur and Michelle McNamara will be gone.

And the only evidence of what happened will be locked inside the only witness, young Linda McNamara.

Ten years later a young woman, claiming to be Linda McNamara walks into the Seattle office of Diamond & Stone investigations. And the tale she tells embroils Investigators Jake Steiner and Mallory Dimante and their assistant, Surai Chanthara, in a bizarre, baffling, and terrifying trip into a world rife with masked identities, clandestine cabals, and devious lusts.

Beanie hats, greasepaint and painted-on smiles conceal the twists and turns and depth of treachery Mallory and Jake are about to suffer.

And in the dark, nearly abandoned tunnels of Seattle’s underground childhood terrors will once again paralyze Mallory as she comes face-to-face with the smiling, larger-than-life, personification of evil, the clown known only as Boy O Boy.

With bloody red lips he beckons, “Come here… I won’t hurt you.”

It is a lie.
