久久會出現這麼一本書，賦予老故事嶄新的意義。

7歲那年，麗比．天的媽媽和姊姊死於「堪薩斯瘋狂殺人事件」。就在兇手大開殺戒之時，小麗比從小小的農宅逃了出去，還上法庭作證，說15歲的哥哥班恩就是兇手，並因此聲名大噪。25年後，靠著慈善捐獻過活的麗比發現，世人已漸漸遺忘她的存在，捐款日漸稀少，眼看就要用完了……

就在這時，殺手俱樂部登場。這個病態的地下組織，對於惡名昭彰的犯罪事件特別感興趣。他們找上麗比，想從她嘴裡證實班恩的無辜，麗比則想趁機大撈一筆。她要求俱樂部出錢，讓她調查當年捲入這樁滅門血案的人物，並允諾定期向俱樂部回報……或許，她會坦承當年的證詞充滿漏洞。

隨著調查行動展開，麗比發現自己回到故事的起點－－她最崇拜的哥哥身上。





Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in “The Satan Sacrifice" of Kinnakee, Kansas.” She survived—and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club—a secret secret society obsessed with notorious crimes—locates Libby and pumps her for details. They hope to discover proof that may free Ben. Libby hopes to turn a profit off her tragic history: She’ll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club—for a fee. As Libby’s search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started—on the run from a killer.
