From the author of Triflers Need Not Apply comes a new deliciously dark novel based on the real Bloody Benders, a family of serial killers in the old American West . . .
Something dark and twisted has taken root at the Bender Inn...
At first the townspeople of Cherryvale welcome rising medium Kate Bender and her family. No one knows about their other business, the shortcut to a better life. And why shouldn't their family prosper? They're careful. It's only from those who travel alone and can easily disappear, that the Benders demand their pound of flesh.
But even a gifted seer like Kate can make a misstep. Now as the secrets beneath the family orchard threaten to bring them all to ruin, the Benders must sharpen their craft- or vanish themselves.
