She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be : IngramSpark : 9781087905952 : 1087905958 : 31 Mar 2020 : A haunting tale of suspense, rendered with the masterful skill only NY Times Bestseller Barker could muster. After the loss of his parents, young Jack Thatch first met Stella as a child-this cryptic little girl of eight with dark hair and darker eyes, sitting alone on a bench in the cemetery clutching her favorite book. Gone moments later, the brief encounter would spark an obsession. She'd creep into his thoughts, his every waking moment, until he finally finds her again exactly one year later, sitting upon the same bench, only to disappear again soon after. The body of a man found in an alley, every inch of his flesh horribly burned, yet his clothing completely untouched. For Detective Faustino Brier, this wasn't the first, and he knew it wouldn't be the last. It was no different from the others. He'd find another just like it one year from today. August 9, to be exact.
