In a woodsy backyard on a lonely cul-de-sac in Northern California, away from prying eyes, veteran serial killer Klaus Fischer quietly buries his victims. Determined to quit the killing game after years and years of murdering women, he decides that his neighbor Peg Jurgensen, a middle-aged widow, will be his final victim. But when new neighbors arrive, the dynamics change. The body count rises. Can anyone on this street be trusted?
Award-winning journalist Christopher Null’s newest book, The Cul-de-sac, draws readers into a thrilling page-turner with plenty of “we’ve gotta talk about it” twists.
While Klaus circles his prey, the arrival of a new family on the cul-de-sac — the first new residents in years — generates plenty of excitement, particularly from Peg. She's especially enthused about Eliza, the teenage member of the van Damal clan, who's trying to make friends in her new school while struggling with math. On a lark, Eliza turns to another neighbor, the troubled Alex, a shut-in who suffers from a mysterious disability, convincing him to become her math tutor.
It isn't long before it becomes clear that Klaus isn't the only one on the cul-de-sac with secrets he doesn't want revealed, but none of that can stop Klaus' bloodlust from finally boiling over on one fateful night. And that's when things on the cul-de-sac get really weird.
The fast pace of The Cul-de-sac sees chapters toggling among the points of view of different characters, giving readers glimpses into the unsettling secrets and dangers lurking behind closed doors — and inside troubled minds. The Cul-de-sac ultimately begs the question: How well do you really know your neighbors?
