12 girls gone. Can she save The 13th Girl?

After decades in a mental health hospital, Dee knows that people find her creepy - because they tell her so. Once the reluctant star of an infamous documentary, she is trying to blend back into the outside world. But when a string of local girls disappear, only to be found dead days later, she becomes fixated on the case and decides to film her own True Crime documentary.

There is a serial killer on the loose - The Righteous Wraith. Girls are being found one by one, their bodies gruesomely staged in the most innocent public spaces. With the killer taunting the police and public fear mounting, the armchair detectives begin pointing fingers at one suspect. But for Dee, something isn't adding up.

She knows what it's like to be accused of something that you didn't do.

She resolves to prove his innocence, unmask the real killer, and save The 13th Girl.

But who will believe her?

A dark, inventive thriller perfect for fans of Chris Carter, Alice Feeney and C.J. Skuse.
