Book Launch: Bad Moon by Todd Ritter (OUT TODAY!)


BAD MOON
By Todd Ritter

The case of a boy missing for 40 years
explodes into the present in Todd Ritter’s
second novel, featuring Perry Hollow Police
Chief Kat Campbell.

On the same night that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, nine-year-old Charlie Olmstead jumped
on his bike to see if he could get a better look. It was the last anyone ever saw of him. After Perry
Hollow Police Chief Jim Campbell found Charlie’s bike caught up above a waterfall, he assumed the worse, and so did everyone else except Charlie's mother.

Years later, Eric Olmstead—and famous author and Charlie’s brother—has come back to bury his mother and fulfill her last request: Find his brother. To do so he goes to the current police chief and his former sweetheart Kat Campell, and it isn’t long before they discover that finding Charlie was his
mother's secret obsession, and while she never found him she uncovered clues suggesting that he wasn’t the only victim.

BAD MOON, Todd Ritter’s excellent follow-up to his acclaimed debut, tells the haunting story of a small town that found lies easier to believe than the truth.
