The Dragon's Fly (Unabridged‪)‬

Victoria Defau Trahan, a reserved forty-year-old eccentric and recluse, has spent over two decades attempting to maintain a semblance of normalcy despite struggling with profound social anxieties. However, this fragile equilibrium is shattered and she is suddenly thrust into a nightmare after receiving distressing news concerning her estranged twenty-two-year-old daughter, London.

What was meant to be a simple camping trip of adventure and bonding transforms into a perplexing crime scene. Armed with limited information, Vicky turns to the sole witness—Colby, a deeply traumatized survivor and London’s closest friend. Colby recounts a bizarre, otherworldly narrative of the disturbing incident, leaving Vicky overwhelmed by grief and more questions than answers. When the case cools into the unsolvable, she teeters on the brink of retreating deeper into the shadows of her own seclusion.
