When she was growing up, everyone called her Lil’ Bit. A nasty way to mock a big girl who wasn’t expected to amount to much.
Cancer took Mama. And the war raging overseas took her brothers.
When Daddy ends up dead, there’s no one left to bring his murderer to justice.
No one but Lil’ Bit.
Boy, have they misjudged her.
Set at night on a ghostly mountain lake, this tale of revenge first appeared in Mystery Weekly.
