"A spellbinding story of a mother with nothing left to lose who sets out on an all-consuming quest for justice after her daughter is murdered on the town playground. The Familiar Dark is a story about the bonds of family, women doing the best they can for their daughters in dire circumstances, as well as a story about how even the darkest and most frightening of places can provide the comfort of home."--Publisher description.
In a small town in the Missouri Ozarks, Eve Taggert is no stranger to the dark side of life. When her daughter is murdered on the town playground, her quest for justice takes her from the seedy underbelly of town to the quiet woods and, most frighteningly, back to her own mother's trailer. -- adapted from jacket
