Butcher's Dozen

Sam Arbichaut Mystery, Book 2

Screwed up runaway teen lying to cover her tracks? Or victim of an unthinkable crime?

When a police officer comes to private investigator Sam Arbichaut asking for help with her teenage cousin, he can hardly refuse to at least listen. Everyone says the girl is a runaway, a liar, and a messed up kid.

Except the girl herself, who claims she was kidnapped. And she says she wasn't alone.

Caught between multiple families, the police, and a powerful local church, Sam doesn't know who to believe.

But if the girl isn't lying... there might be twelve more just like her, trapped somewhere with an evil killer waiting to strike again...

This is the thrilling second book in the Sam Arbichaut mystery series!
