From Alice Blanchard, the author of the New York Times Notable mystery novel Darkness Peering comes Trace of Evil, first in an evocative new series about a small New York town, its deeply held secrets, and the woman determined to uncover them, no matter what the cost.
There's something wicked in Burning Lake...
Natalie Lockhart is a rookie detective in Burning Lake, New York, an isolated town known for its dark past. Tasked with uncovering the whereabouts of nine missing transients who have disappeared over the years, Natalie wrestles with the town's troubled history - and the scars left by her sister's unsolved murder years ago.
Then Daisy Buckner, a beloved schoolteacher, is found dead on her kitchen floor, and a suspect immediately comes to mind. But it's not that simple. The suspect is in a coma, collapsed only hours after the teacher's death, and it turns out Daisy had secrets of her own. Natalie knows there is more to the case, but as the investigation deepens, even she cannot predict the far-reaching consequences - for the victim, for the missing of Burning Lake, and for herself.

Descriere
Natalie Lockhart always knew she was going to be a cop. A rookie detective in Burning Lake, a town known for its dark past, she was raised on the wisdom of her chief-of-police father. Natalie uses these lessons and the scars of her past - a beloved sister, murdered as a teenager - to give families the closure she never got. Her task is to uncover the whereabouts of nine missing transients who have disappeared.
One night, after a day of no leads, she offers a ride home to a fellow cop. What she sees next will unravel everything.
Daisy Bruckner - beloved schoolteacher, wife to a cop, pregnant - is dead on her kitchen floor. A suspect comes to mind almost immediately - Riley Skinner, Daisy’s student and one of the disenfranchised youths of Burning Lake. But it’s not that simple.
Riley is in a coma, collapsed only hours after her death. And Daisy had secrets of her own. Natalie knows there is more to this case, but as the investigation deepens, even she cannot predict the far-reaching consequences - for Daisy, for Burning Lake - and for herself.
As the hunt for Daisy’s killer ties in with the loose thread of her sister’s murder, Natalie must use every skill she possesses to solve the crimes before her - and confront the darkest parts of herself. Spellbinding and haunting, Trace of Evil is a dazzling novel of twisting suspense and the effect of secrets left uncovered.
