<p>Catty Hammond isn't like other girls; she can talk to roaches.</p><p> </p><p>It's not a gift she ever wanted or asked for but ever since she was a child it's marked her as different. And in the suburb of Hilly Green different is just about the worst thing a person can be. After a lifetime as a social pariah-culminating a bloody and terrifying encounter with a deranged murderer-Catty left suburbia and never looked back.</p><p> </p><p>A decade has passed since then but now a call from her sick mother brings Catty home. Not much has changed in Hilly Green: the houses are still beautiful the lawns are still immaculate the people still smile and gossip and quietly judge their neighbors...</p><p> </p><p>...and the serial killer Catty narrowly escaped from all those years ago is still there watching her.</p><p> </p><p>He has his own gifts. He has his own pride.</p><p> </p><p>And he has no intention of letting the Roach Girl slip through his fingers once more.</p>
