Arm Farm

"The last memory I had of them was filled with spilled blood and vacant eyes, the smell of baking, then burning. Cookies and blood."

What would you do if you came home to the aroma of chocolate chip cookies and the sight of your mother's blood pooled on the kitchen floor?

Would you make a promise to your seven-year-old self to find the killer?

In the novel Arm Farm, university student Natalie Hartman finds herself trying to convince others that her parents' case is more of a priority than her own safety. The forensic science student flies across the nation looking for answers. And so does her stalker.

Arm Farm takes Natalie on a journey of self-discovery to find out not only who she wants to be but who she is. Her life may seem simple to unassuming classmates, but to those close to her, it becomes a terror with twists and turns they never want to experience. Will Natalie find out who killed her mother and father before her own life is taken?

Arm Farm is a novel of 59015 which offers its young adult readers a glimpse into the human reality of forensic science. Natalie's story is more about people and a murder investigation than it is about the unrealistic portrayal of Hollywood science.

The suspense of Arm Farm compares to those written by highly acclaimed author Harlan Coben but without adult complexities a young adult reader may not enjoy.

"And as I walked back through the valley of the shadow of arms, I quickened my pace, dried my tears and prayed quietly."
