Book Synopsis

"Wolfe convincingly lays claim to a new mantle as a first-rate crime writer. A bracingly original mystery series from the pseudonymous Wolfe."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Stinging deaths aren't uncommon in the summertime, but when Henry Wiest turns up stung to death at an Indian reservation, Detective Hazel Micallef senses not all is as it seems. And when it turns out the "bee" was a diabolical teenaged girl on a murder spree with a strange weapon, a dark and twisted crime begins to slowly emerge. The questions, contradictions, and bodies begin to mount, as two separate police forces struggle to work together to save the soul of Westmuir County.

Wolfe had me from the first page and never let me go. I absolutely loved Hazel Micallef.--Kate Atkinson, author of Case Histories and One Good Turn

Beautiful writing is just one of the pleasures of this Chinese-box puzzler.
