The Girl In Green:

She is ten years old. She loves storybooks, puppies, and murder.

Her mother knows. She has always known. And still she runs with her, steals for her, looks the other way—because she is her little girl. Because somewhere beneath those flat, patient eyes is the child she once rocked to sleep.

Isn’t she?

In the gritty, pre-everything America of the early 1980s, a mother and daughter are leaving a quiet trail of bodies across state lines. When a dangerous man steps into their orbit and the police close in from behind, the mother faces the question she has spent a decade outrunning.

What is she raising? What has she always been raising? And what happens when her daughter decides she’s better off alone?

The Girl in Green is a razor-edged psychological thriller that lives in the space between devotion and horror. Because the most terrifying thing about a monster isn’t what it does.

It’s how much you love it.

Fans of We Need to Talk About Kevin and Alice, Sweet Alice will love The Girl in Green.

Will her reign of evil ever end?
