Whistling In the Dark
Lesley Kagen
It was the summer on Vliet Street when we all started
locking our doors...
Sally O'Malley made a promise to her daddy before he died.
She swore she'd look after her sister, Troo. Keep her safe.
But like her Granny always saidactions speak louder
than words. Now, during the summer of 1959, the girls'
mother is hospitalized, their stepfather has abandoned them
for a six pack, and their big sister, Nell, is too busy
making out with her boyfriend to notice that Sally and Troo
are on the Loose. And so is a murderer and molester.
Highly imaginative Sally is pretty sure of two things. Who
the killer is. And that she's next on his list. Now she has
no choice but to protect herself and Troo as best she can,
relying on her own courage and the kindness of her neighbors.
