"A terrific debut. A taut, wholly unique thriller with great characters told with confidence and flair." Dennis Lehane
For lovers of Ozark or Breaking Bad, a page-turning debut involving an Alabama family business, a dead body, a dogged investigator, and three generations of women who are forced to confront the secrets, betrayals, and buried crimes that haunt their family.
When a queen bee can no longer do her job, the worker bees will kill her, producing a new baby queen.
A perfectly preserved but very dead body is found in a barrel of honey, and the town of Noccalula, Alabama, will never be the same.
Natalie Link has inherited the family honey farm from her beloved grandmother Lana, who raised Nat after her mother ran off to Los Angeles chasing stardom. But it turns out Nat has no idea what Lana has been hiding in the hives. Is Nat up to running what turns out to be a business enterprise of questionable repute? Suddenly she is caught between her grandmother's very frightening partners and the ex-cop with a grudge who's been looking into her family since she was a kid.
Bob Sauk torpedoed his once promising law enforcement career chasing a lead he couldn't prove. He has always believed that Lana Link was a murderer. Will he finally get the chance to prove he was right all along? And what happens when Nat's Hollywood star mom returns to town after twenty-five years?
Full of secrets, murder, and Alabama fried frog legs, Baby Queen is a sharp-as-a-blade tale of family crime.
