"A page-turner mystery that transforms from magical into haunting" - Encour Press
Perfect for fans of classics such as Where The Crawdad Sings, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Shadow of the Wind. Mr Muerte is a stunning fiction debut from S. R. Stuart and Encour Press, based in Sydney, Australia.
Lucia is about to embark on a harrowing quest for truth in America's oldest city: a place with more secrets than it lets on.
When Lucia's beloved brother is found washed ashore, the people of St. Augustine dismiss it as just another tragic suicide. But Lucia refuses to believe it. The circumstances don't add up - especially the waterlogged card found on his body, depicting La Santa Muerte, the saint of death.
Soon, Lucia's curiosity unravels into obsession, uncovering whispers of a sinister conspiracy involving the city's most powerful people. Beneath the sunlit charm of St. Augustine lies a dark underbelly. Lucia must come to terms with everything she believes to be true - about her brother's death, about the city, and what truly lies in the hearts of others.
Dark, dreamy, and full of mind-bending twists, this mystery explores a haunting question: how can we ever know what, or who, is real?
