In this fictional horror story, Vera Bain was the most admired beauty queen in Fair Hope, Alabama — stunning, charming, and seemingly impossible to suspect. But during the nine years she held her crown, 14 women in her immediate circle disappeared. No one connected the pattern until 1976, when Detective May Day began cross-referencing the missing persons reports and noticed that every disappearance happened shortly after a woman got too close to Vera's inner circle. What he found when he entered Vera's property changed everything. This is the story of beauty, obsession, jealousy, and a woman who claimed she simply did not like competition.
