Bucket of Blood

Book One: The Bucket of Blood Series

Lizzie’s mother is dead, and left in the care of her prim older sister, the 15-year-old fears her carefree ways are over. But when tragedy strikes again, Lizzie discovers a sinister web of lies and deception, of murders past and present. Fierce resentments and racial tensions boil beneath the illusion of civilization. Soon, Lizzie finds herself ensnared in a secret that stretches from the opium dens of British Columbia and the alleys of San Francisco to the jungles of Panama and beyond — and it’s a secret that the murderer will do anything to protect.

"I love when a story feels close to home, and Bannerman captures the gritty, atmospheric feel of the era so well… Haunting, beautifully written, and full of that eerie coastal atmosphere that lingers long after you finish.
