Chloe Davis
When Chloe Davis was 12 years old, her father was convicted as a serial killer after confessing to murdering a string of teenage girls who had gone missing in their small Louisiana town.
Twenty years later, while getting ready for her own wedding, Chloe seems to finally have her act together as a psychologist in private practice in Baton Rouge.
Then, the dark past comes crashing back when girls in her area start going missing. This is the story setup for the New York Times bestselling book, A Flicker in the Dark, by Stacy Willingham.
Willingham will be Georgia Writers Museum’s “Meet the Author” presenter Dec. 6, with doors open at 6:30 for a 7 p.m. start. Since the book is set in Breaux Bridge, La. the crawfish capital of the world, the event will feature themed heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks, so don’t be surprised by what you may find on your plate!
The Washington Post called A Flicker in the Dark, “exceptionally smart, and entertaining,” while The Minneapolis Star-Tribune described it as “a fast- paced read that foretells more coming from this budding author.” NY Times best-selling author Chelsea Cain said of the book, “I have not felt this excited about a thriller in years. I could not put this book down. It’s fabulous.” And Publisher’s Weekly tagged Willingham as “a writer to watch.”
A Flicker in the Dark has already been snatched up by HBO Max and will be adapted into a TV series with indie film-making machine A24 and Emma Stone’s Fruit Tree production company.
So far, the book has been translated into more than 30 languages worldwide.
