Body of a Girl - Softcover

More about BODY OF A GIRL:
In Memphis, where the heat clings like a second skin, Olivia Dale’s job as a crime reporter is at once surreal – stepping in and out of strangers’ lives with her notebook – and all too real. But her latest murder investigation has struck a little too close to home. As she looks down on the twisted body of a young woman who has been kidnapped and gruesomely killed, she realises how easily it could have been her. Olivia even looks a little like Allison Avery. Chasing a lead story, she finds herself drawn deep in to the secrets of Allison’s life - and tempted by her own dark side...

Hypnotic and chillingly realistic, Leah Stewart’s psychological thriller marks a taut and compelling crime debut.

"It’s hard to believe that this is a first novel; harder still to believe that Leah Stewart is only twenty-five-years old. A smart sexy literary page-turner...The secret at its heart will astonish you." Manette Ansay, author of Midnight Champagne and Vinegar Hill

Leah Stewart's short stories have appeared in various publications that include The Kenyon Review. A former associate editor of Doubletake magazine, she lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This is her first novel.
