This is a Publisher’s Copy (PC) of the signed numbered limited edition hardback produced by SST with a stated first edition June 2023 and a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. UNREAD. The title was previously published by Quirk Books in 2020.
A PC copy is a book that is identical to the Signed, Numbered, Limited Edition in all respects bar one: on the limitation page, instead of having a number, it has ‘PC’ written where the number would normally appear. PC copies (sometimes called ‘presentation copies’) are normally given by the publisher to those involved in the production of the book, eg the author, illustrator, the person who writes the introduction, etc.
SIGNED by GRADY HENDRIX and REIKO MURAKAMI (cover and interior artwork) on the limitation page.
SYNOPSIS: “Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.
One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor’s handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind – and Patricia has already invited him in.
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted – including the book club – but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.”
