Description
She is ten years old. She loves storybooks, puppies, and murder.
Her mother knows. She has always known. And still she runs with her, steals for her, looks the other way-because she is her little girl. Because somewhere beneath those flat, patient eyes is the child she once rocked to sleep.
Isn't she?
In the gritty, pre-everything America of the early 1980s, a mother and daughter are leaving a quiet trail of bodies across state lines. When a dangerous man steps into their orbit and the police close in from behind, the mother faces the question she has spent a decade outrunning.
What is she raising? What has she always been raising? And what happens when her daughter decides she's better off alone?
The Girl in Green is a razor-edged psychological thriller that lives in the space between devotion and horror. Because the most terrifying thing about a monster isn't what it does.
It's how much you love it.

Person
Staci Layne Wilson is an L.A. native who enjoys traffic, wildfires, and earthquakes-but since her move to Las Vegas, she's learned to love 110-degree summers, drive-thru wedding chapels, and casinos that still reek of the Rat Pack's cigars. She has been a professional writer since the age of 12, when she was hired as a columnist for a national magazine. When she's not writing books, she is making movies (Cabaret of the Dead, The Second Age of Aquarius, and the upcoming Dark House of the Mannequins).
