Death is the path to perfection according to the charismatic young preacher--and the date is fast approaching. <p/> Colleen is desperate to find a way to stop her daughter from making the ultimate mistake before she--along with hundreds of others--lose their lives. <p/><b>Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben's gritty noir suspense</b> <p/> While all of the novels in the Colleen Hayes Mystery Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: <p/><i>Vanishing in the Haight <br> Tie Die <br> Bad Scene</i> <br><i>Line of Darkness</i> (coming August 2022)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Bad Scene</i> is an enjoyable read that captures the imagination of mystery and thriller readers--and those who harbor hope that anyone in depths of despair can climb out of the abyss." --<i>Bookreporter</i> <p/> <br> "Fast-paced action, a colorful setting, and a realistic mother-daughter dynamic help make [<i>Bad Scene</i>] a winner.
