The Kind Worth Killing: A Novel

As Henry Kimball thinks about the case, he writes limericks in his notebook about the people he investigates. Chief Jim Ireland, the head of police in Kennewick, calls Kimball and tells him that he spoke with Polly, who says that she was with Brad the night of the murder. Later, Jim calls him back and tells him that they discovered the body of Miranda at the Severson home.

After Lily kills Brad, she pulls him into the passenger seat. Lily pulls off the freeway to stop at a closed auto shop and swaps Brad’s license plates with the license plates from one of the cars. A few hours later, Lily pulls up to Monk’s House. She drives up to the abandoned farmhouse and finds the well. Lily drags Brad’s body out of the car and pushes him into the well. Lily sees a vision of her younger self after killing her predator. She looks at her younger self, who also understands the need for survival that she feels, before she disappears.

Lily drives the truck into New York City after dumping Brad’s body. She parks the truck and drops the keys on the ground when she gets out of the car.
