Victims and Hunters

By Keith McCabe

From Keith McCabe, author of Rabbit King and Director's Cut, comes a brutal historical fiction where deadly women converge in a battle of good versus evil

In a shadowy Massachusetts town in 1914, pioneer female investigator Maryelaina Lemberg is drawn into a chilling homicide when she receives a desperate letter from Eliza Foster, an innocent woman accused of brutally murdering her husband. The crime is grisly - Thomas Foster's body found in pieces in Williamstown. Even worse, the authorities are determined to see Eliza Foster hang for the crime. But something doesn't sit right with Maryelaina. Delving deeper, she discovers unsettling inconsistencies, encounters systemic sexism, and hears whispers of something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, a parallel investigation unfolds along the infamous Hemlock Highway, a stretch of road notorious for disappearances and gang violence. Pinkerton detective Carroll Hoyt is searching for a missing real estate heir who vanished while inspecting his properties. When Hoyt and Maryelaina cross paths, their cases become intertwined, revealing a dark network of corruption, crime, and predatory forces preying on the defenseless citizens. Each clue leads them closer to a truth that someone - or something - is desperate to keep buried.

As danger mounts and bodies continue to surface, Maryelaina learns she's not just chasing a murderer-she's hunting something far more insidious. Hemlock Highway holds secrets that stretch beyond human cruelty, and the deeper she digs, the more she risks becoming a victim herself. She realizes she's not just uncovering a killer, she's stepping into the lair of a monster. In a world where hunters and prey blur together, she must determine who is truly guilty, who is innocent, and fight to survive the rising tide of bloody violence coming her way.
