A Guide For Murdered Children

"In her astonishing thriller, Sarah Sparrow has joined the ranks of Shirley Jackson and Stephen King. A warning: there is no safe place to read this book."
David Cronenberg

Originally Published under the name Sarah Sparrow, Bruce Wagner's A Guide for Murdered Childrenis terrifying, thoroughly original, and hauntingly written.

Ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde is fresh out of rehab and finally able to find a job running a Cold Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops assigned to him take an obsessive interest in a decades-old disappearance of a brother and sister, Willow begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. He uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings made up of the slain innocents and a new way of looking at life, death, murder-and missed opportunities-is revealed to him.

A Guide for Murdered Childrenis a genre-busting, mind-bending twist on the fine line between the ordinary . . . and the unfathomable.
