Listen Closely

Listen Closely takes you deep into the psyche of Jessa Benson, survivor of a father who tried to annihilate his family . When her father shot her, just after he murdered her mother, he thought he left her for dead, and committed suicide. Miraculously, Jessa survived, to be raised by her uncle on a ranch along Montana's rugged Hi-Line. Though she survived the gunshot wound, she was left with a disabled shoulder and a fractured mind. Very intelligent, Jessa learned how to soothe the rage her past had filled her at a very early age. In adulthood, she became obsessed with fire, and how a 'funeral pyre' of her own making could burn away her rage for a time. But only for a time. Then she needed fire again. Eventually Jessa goes on a spree of starting funeral pyres that leads law enforcement throughout Montana, and across the US, on a chase to find a killer. Filled with vibrant characters and plot twists you won't see coming, Listen Closely keeps you wondering what will happen next, right up to the last page.
