Viola Ted: Rule #1... Don't Call the Police

By Mersaidee Soules

Unexpected violence ensues in this raw, unflinching, science-rooted thriller.

Viola Ted evokes the emotional intensity of Karin Slaughter's The Good Daughter, where a single act of unimaginable horror shatters a family, while echoing the enduring lesson of the Game of Thrones Stark family: "The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives."

Trapped by circumstances beyond her control, Viola learns that survival demands patience, resilience and ruthless clarity. She waits-not in surrender, but for the moment that will allow her to escape the cage she's trapped in.

At its core, Viola Ted is a story about taking the shame from the innocent and placing it where it belongs: on the perpetrator. And unlike Game of Thrones, the monsters in Viola Ted are not fantasy. They are real. That is what makes them terrifying.

Following a second suspicious death in her low-income community, Viola Ted's coming-of-age is cut short in her small town when she's kidnapped by a serial killer who is searching for a missing book. Navigating lies and physical attacks, without a way out, Viola attempts to play his sinister mind games to stay alive. When she finds the book, she uncovers a terrible secret involving deceit and a conspiracy that dates back six hundred years.

To save herself, Viola may have to destroy her family. But can she?
