The Wind Witch Murders
by Casey Dunn

Something deadly this way comes . . .

1999, Arkansas. High school senior Raven is attending her mother’s funeral when a mysterious stranger called Orion appears. He hands a feather to Raven’s grandmother, then disappears.

Raven discovers that Orion is the leader of a cult on the Hill. Did he know Raven’s mother, Deanne, before she was institutionalized for murders she never admitted to twelve years ago? Deanne was found in a catatonic state, lying naked on the ground close to two dead boys, symbols drawn in blood on her body.

As Raven begins to unravel the spine-tingling secrets and lies surrounding her mother and the enigmatic Orion, and learns the truth about the murders with the help of an old journal, she finds herself in incredible danger.

A mesmerizing dark treat of a novel, full of twists and suspense, perfect for fans of Rebecca James and Tana French.
