Description

In this new thriller from Gretchen McNeil, Izzy and her family welcome a foreign exchange student into their home. But after a series of mishaps and coincidences, and with a serial killer on the loose, Izzy begins to expect the man is not who he seems.

For most of her life, Izzy has been looking forward to fulfilling her mother's dream of studing abroad in Italy. Izzy is counting down the days until she can leave her humdrum life behind, until Alberto, a handsome and mysterious Italian exchange student, shows up for his stay with her family and to help Izzy practice her Italian before she leaves. Izzy, and everyone else in town, is immediately charmed by Alberto and his irresistible accent.
As an avid true crime fan, Izzy has been following a serial killer case in San Francisco, and the killer seems to have made his way north. As Izzy begins to pay more attention to Alberto-- his actions, his temper-- she finds more and more holes in his story and coincidences he has trouble explaining away.
One day when a local girl is murdered, Izzy starts to believe that Alberto might not be who he seems. In a race against the clock, Izzy must get someone to believe that Alberto could be the killer before another girl turns up dead.
Filled with mysterious twists and turns, Four Letter Word is a pulse-pounding thriller that fans will devour.
