Butcher's Dozen

In the gripping second installment of the Sam Arbichaut mystery series, private investigator Sam is drawn into a tangled web of deception and danger when a police officer seeks his help for her missing teenage cousin. While authorities deem the girl a runaway and a liar, she insists that she has been kidnapped, claiming she is not alone in her plight. As Sam navigates conflicting narratives from families, police, and a powerful local church, he uncovers a chilling possibility: if the girl's story holds true, there may be twelve more victims trapped by an unseen evil.
