Description
The girl who wouldn't die... hunting a killer who shouldn't exist.
He's the perfect killer. Unstoppable. Untraceable. He thinks.
CHICAGO, 1931. Harper Curtis, a violent drifter, stumbles on a house with a secret as shocking as his own twisted nature – it opens onto other times. He uses it to stalk his carefully chosen 'shining girls' through the decades – and cut the spark out of them. 'It's not my fault. It's yours. You shouldn't shine. You shouldn't make me do this.'
CHICAGO, 1992. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Tell that to Kirby Mazrachi, whose life was shattered after a brutal attempt to murder her. Still struggling to find the attacker, Kirby's only ally is Dan, an ex-homicide reporter who covered the case and now might be falling in love with her.
As Kirby investigates, she finds the other girls – the ones who didn't make it. The evidence is... impossible. But for a girl who should be dead, impossible doesn't mean it didn't happen...
Strong contender for the role of this summer's universal beach read... loaded with acrobatic twists – New York Times

About the Author
Lauren Beukes is a writer, TV scriptwriter and journalist. She has an MA in Creative Writing, but she got her real education in ten years of freelance journalism, learning really useful skills like how to pole-dance and make traditional sorghum beer. For the sake of a story, she's jumped out of planes and into shark-infested waters and got to hang out with teen vampires, township vigilantes, AIDS activists and homeless sex workers among other interesting folk.
