It’s the mid-70s and life in Monta Clare, Missouri is not easy for Patch and Saint. Patch is known around their small town as the pirate, a persona he’s adopted to cope both with the birth defect that gave him only one eye and the circumstances that have left him and his widowed, alcoholic mother struggling. For Saint who never knew her parents, solace is found in her beloved grandmother, Norma, and the bees she keeps in their yard. It’s the bees that bring Patch and Saint together and first love that seals their bond—but fate will soon intervene. In the small towns of Missouri, girls have been disappearing and when that danger visits Monta Clare, it will forever alter what Patch and Saint know about truth, devotion, and what we owe to those we love.

Both a soaring thriller and an epic love story spanning decades, All the Colors of the Dark  takes readers on a journey full of unexpected twists, shattering turns, and moments of heart-wrenching beauty that will long stay with you.
