Book Description:
Marin County, California, summer, 1979. When
young women start turning up dead on the mountain behind the home of
Rachel and her devoted eleven-year-old sister, Patty, their father—a
larger-than-life, irresistibly handsome (and chronically unfaithful)
detective—is put in charge of finding the "Sunset Strangler." Watching
her father's life slowly unravel as months pass and more women are
killed, Rachel embarks on a dangerous game to catch the killer. Her
actions will destroy her father's career and alter forever the lives of
everyone she loves. Thirty years later, believing that the wrong man was
arrested for the crimes, leaving the true killer at large, Rachel
constructs a new strategy to smoke out the Sunset Strangler and
vindicate her father—and discovers more than she bargained for.Loosely inspired by the Trailside Killer case, After Her is part thriller, part love story—a poignant, suspenseful, and painfully real family saga that traces a young girl's first sexual explorations, the loss of innocence, the bond shared by sisters, and the tender but damaged relationship between a girl and her father that endures even beyond the grave.
