Body of a Girl

In Memphis, where the heat clings heavy like a second skin, it has been a summer of murders. Olivia Dale's job as a novice crime reporter is at once surreal--stepping in & out of strangers' lives with her notebook--and all too real. As she looks down on the twisted body of a young woman who has been kidnapped & gruesomely killed, she wonders if she could have been that girl. After all, as she chases a lead story, she discovers that Allison Avery--so all-American, so like Olivia in age & looks--was just like her except wilder. Drawn deep into the shadows & secrets of Allison's life, Olivia becomes caught up in exlporing her own wild side & finds herself seduced by a perilous world where her own life may be in danger. Hypnotic, compelling, & gorgeously written, Body of a Girl is a "must" summer read.Stewart, Leah is the author of 'Body of a Girl' with ISBN 9780670891641 and ISBN 0670891649.
