Description

From one of our most talented and original new literary voices comes the next great American supernatural novel: a work that explores the dark dimensions of the hometowns and the neighbors we thought we knew.

Some places are too good to be true.

Under a pink moon, there is a perfect little town not found on any map: Wink, New Mexico.

In that town, there are quiet streets lined with pretty houses, houses that conceal the strangest things.

After a couple years of hard traveling, ex-cop Mona Bright inherits her long-dead mother's home. And the closer Mona gets to her mother's past, the more she understands that the people of Wink are very, very different . . .

"Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman." -- Library Journal

    If you like your mystery sprinkled with a dash of sci-fi, weird and freaky, you will love this one. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and bought the “City” trilogy, which is also good. The female character Mona is complex but real and I had to check a few times that the author was male. Excellent read.

    One of those rare books that you hate to see end. I liked all the characters, even the bad guys, and the plot was brilliant.
