"Daddy and Death Those are the only things Ann Bunmi knew of her seventeen years of lonely existence traveling far from her home town beside her gleeful serial killer father, the pair jumping from one victim to the other, leaving a unforetold blood soaked trail upon Thailand. But in 1994, right as Bunmi enters puberty and their deadly escapades starts to desperately catch up with them, home seems the only place to return to but just then, a meeting with a detective from Ann's hometown will change her life forever as she is forced to confront all that was buried - beneath floorboards, behind smiles, inside herself. Told in lyrical, bone deep prose. The Beloved Remains is a coming of age tale wrapped in psychological horror, gruesome carnage, grief, regret and the unknowns of love.
