Under the Blade: A Novel of Suspense and Horror

It's been twenty-five years since Cyrus Hoyt's infamous killing spree at Camp Forest Grove. A quarter-century since teenage counselor Melanie Holden left him mortally wounded and escaped with her life.

Today, Melanie's teaching career has bottomed out and left her with no choice but to return to the scene of the crime. Motivated by a lucrative publishing offer, as well as a desire to free herself from recurring nightmares, Melanie's research into the murderer's life brings resistance from all directions as she uncovers skeletons in Forest Grove's past.

Because of Melanie, a long-held secret is about to be revealed--one that somebody is willing to kill for in order to protect. And Melanie is going to discover she has a lot more to lose than just her mind.

The stalk-and-slash suspense of Friday the 13th meets the small town mystery of Sharp Objects in this white-knuckle horror story of a final girl's revenge.
