The Flies of August
"The default setting for teenagers is liar. They lie like they French kiss�to see how it feels in the mouth." - the judgment of Detective Donna Bradley, who has a clear eye, a skeptical soul and a chink in her emotional armor that she will learn about the hard way.
When a prominent insurance executive is gutted with a garden tool amid his rhododendrons, a quiet Connecticut town bursts into the public eye. Rookie detective Donna Bradley, snubbed from the high-profile case, is saddled with an unrelated search for a teenage runaway. The girl�s parents�a beaten-down father mired in debt and an ailing mother�are mysteriously evasive. A reclusive Englishman seems to have an unhealthy interest in the girl.
As the town�s startling secrets are uncovered, Donna�s search for a killer becomes a search for herself, as her own weaknesses are exposed by the pressures of the investigation.
�The Flies of August� unfolds through one hot, harrowing summer as the American recession drives rich and poor alike to desperate measures.
