The Savage Kind: A Mystery

The Savage Kind is a gripping mystery novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Two lonely teenage girls in 1940s Washington, DC, discover they have a penchant for solving crimes—and an even greater desire to commit them.

When Philippa returns a novel lent by her English teacher, she interrupts a man grappling with her in the shadows.

Frightened, Philippa flees, unsure who the man is or what she’s seen.

Days later, their teacher returns to school altered: a dark shell of herself.

On the heels of her teacher’s transformation, a classmate is found dead in the Anacostia River—murdered—the body stripped and defiled with a mysterious inscription.

As the girls follow the clues and wrestle with newfound feelings toward each other, they suspect that the killer is closer to their circle than they imagined—and that the greatest threat they face may not be lurking in the halls at school, or in the city streets, but creeping out from a murderous impulse of their own.

With elegant prose and compelling characters, The Savage Kind will keep you guessing until the very end.
