Stay

In the aftermath of her lover's murder, the former Atlanta cop wants only to hide in her cabin and nurse her grief. But then an old friend asks Aud to track down his missing fiancee, and soon she finds herself up against an artful sociopath and the specters of her own guilt. Stay is as stylish as this year's Prada and as arresting as a razor at the throat.

Publisher Marketing:
Aud Torvingen wants only to grieve the murder of her lover, but when an old friend asks for her help, she finds herself up against an artful sociopath and the specters of her own guilt.

Jacket Description/Flap:
Aud (it rhymes with "shroud" ) Torvingen is six feet tall with blond hair and blue eyes. She can restore a log cabin with antique tools or put a man in a coma with her bare hands. As imagined by Nicola Griffith in this ferocious masterpiece of literary noir, Aud is a hero who combines the tortured complexity with moral authority.
In the aftermath of her lover's murder, the last thing a grieving Aud wants is another case. Against her better judgment she agrees to track down an old friend's runaway fiancee--and finds herself up against both a sociopath so artful that the law can't touch him, and the terrible specters of loss and guilt. As stylish as this year's Prada and as arresting as a razor at the throat, Stay places Nicola Griffith in the first rank of new-wave crime writers.
