Pretty Girls

About the book

Two decades after Julia Carroll disappeared without a trace, her remaining sisters, Claire and Lydia, live in an estranged silence shaped by their family’s collapse. When Claire’s husband is murdered during an apparent robbery, she uncovers a hidden life of extreme digital violence and torture stored on his computer. This discovery forces the sisters back together to confront a network of systemic cruelty that links the recent killing to their sister’s cold case. They navigate graphic evidence of snuff films and corruption within their affluent Georgia community, realizing that the men they trusted are responsible for a legacy of abduction and ritualized slaughter.

This book is for readers of hard-boiled crime who prioritize detailed forensic investigation and uncompromising depictions of physical trauma. It attracts those who want to see the psychological mechanics of grief and the logistical reality of long-term trauma. Readers walk away with a stark understanding of how systemic misogyny can hide behind respected societal facades. It provides an unflinching look at the endurance required to survive victimization and the technical methods used to track clandestine criminal organizations through encrypted data and physical evidence.
