What if the grandmother who raised you was also a criminal mastermind — and you had no idea? Baby Queen is a debut crime novel by Ty Landers set in Alabama, where three generations of women run a honey farm with deadly secrets buried in the hives.
When a perfectly preserved body turns up in a drum of honey, Natalie Link is suddenly caught between her grandmother’s very frightening partners and an ex-cop with a decades-long grudge — a sharp, darkly funny Southern thriller in the tradition of S.A. Cosby and Eli Cranor, with the propulsive feel of Ozark or Breaking Bad. HBO won the dramatic rights in a 10-way bidding war.
