About Love in the Time of Serial Killers

True-crime-obsessed PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh spends the summer in Florida clearing out her childhood home, finishing her dissertation and dealing with grief over her estranged father. Then she meets her new neighbor, Sam, and quickly decides his after-dark behavior is suspicious enough to warrant investigation. The problem is that Sam may not be dangerous at all—unless being kind, patient and capable of reaching Phoebe’s guarded heart counts.
