For All The Dead Girls

Sherryl Clark

Sherryl will be in conversation with author Tracey Rolfe

Tough and gutsy PI Lou Alcott returns with a terrifyingly gritty new case that takes her deep into the dark web.

While juggling a missing person case with unexpected ties close to home and saving an innocent woman and her child from a dangerous domestic situation, Lou ends up in the line of fire of a mysterious dark-web hate group, known only as SYB.

As Melbourne simmers through a relentless heatwave, the murders of more women are connected to SYB and Lou becomes the number one target of their vicious campaign of incited violence. Lou lurches between a fire-bombed safe house, car chases and stalkers, as her private investigation firm races against time to uncover the core of the group and work out just how far their tentacles stretch…

Dark, gritty and utterly compelling, FOR ALL THE DEAD GIRLS is Sherryl Clark at her riveting, nail-biting best and delivers a chilling warning that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
