      WICKED above her hipbone, GIRL across her heart Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker's troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille's first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. NASTY on her kneecap, BABYDOLL on her leg Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory. HARMFUL on her wrist, WHORE on her ankle As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims--a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming. With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable.

      A haunting true story of a serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California in the 70s and 80s, this narrative follows the gifted journalist who tragically died while investigating the case, which was ultimately solved in April 2018. The work is introduced by Gillian Flynn and features an afterword by Patton Oswalt. For over a decade, a violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California and ten sadistic murders in Southern California, eluding capture by multiple police forces and top detectives. Three decades later, true crime journalist Michelle McNamara, creator of TrueCrimeDiary.com, became determined to find the psychopath she named "the Golden State Killer." She meticulously examined police reports, interviewed victims, and engaged with online communities obsessed with the case. The masterpiece she was writing at the time of her sudden death offers a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the devastation he caused, while also portraying McNamara’s obsession and relentless pursuit of the truth. This utterly original and compelling work has been hailed as a modern true crime classic, fulfilling Michelle's dream of helping to unmask the Golden State Killer.

Η πρωταγωνίστριά του Καμίλ Πρίκερ, δημοσιογράφος, επιστρέφει ύστερα από χρόνια στη γενέτειρά της με αφορμή τους φόνους δύο νεαρών κοριτσιών την εξιχνίαση των οποίων καλείται να καλύψει για λογαριασμό της εφημερίδας της. Η επιστροφή της θα την αναγκάσει να έρθει ξανά σε επαφή με την οικογένειά της από την οποία έχει αποξενωθεί και θα ξαναξυπνήσει τις μνήμες της οικογενειακής τραγωδίας που βαραίνουν το παρελθόν της. Παράλληλα η αστυνομική έρευνα που διενεργείται μοιάζει αδιέξοδη και η μόνη λύση για να λυθεί το παζλ των φόνων είναι η κατάδυση της Καμίλ στην προσωπική της κόλαση.
