The book is a murder mystery. The main character is a female investigator/detective/police. Her brother is the murderer in the novel, and has recently showed up killing in her hometown. Her brother (the murderer) is coming to kill her. He has a creepy obsession with blood/even menstrual blood. Also, there is a history of sexual abuse when the investigator and her brother were young--her brother forced either a bird/raven/crow/bat in her. It was a very disturbing murder mystery and the only mystery novel that has even freaked me out.
