Left alone for the weekend while her husband and two children are visiting her in-laws, the narrator of KILLING STELLA recounts the addition of her friend’s daughter, Stella, into their already tense and tumultuous household. Staring out the window at her garden, she worries about the baby bird in the linden tree, about her husband, Richard, who flits from one adulterous affair to another, about her son’s gloomy demeanor and her daughter’s obliviousness to everything, and, most of all, she worries about Stella, a confused teenager who has just met a sudden and disastrous end.

I 1950'ernes Østrig gør Anna alt for at opretholde familielivets tilsyneladende normalitet. En dag flytter den 19-årige Stella ind og skal bo hos familien i løbet af et helt skoleår. Selv da Richard får øjnene op for Stellas skønhed og indleder en affære med hende, ser Anna gennem fingrene med det. Og da Stella på tragisk vis kaster sig ud foran en lastbil, går der ikke længe, før Anna får overbevist sig selv om, at alt er tilbage ved det normale.

Tara Peabody jumps into the fray. She’s a fighter, a survivor, and will not tolerate the humiliation and disrespect Stella Gale has dragged her through. Does she have what it takes to exact the revenge that so many others have sought, and still seek? Mick’s quest for revenge becomes ever more complicated by both his love for Annie and the long-held secret she reveals to him. Pete Strate is the wild card that puts into motion what Margaret Appleman believes could culminate in her dream of finally “bagging a very big bird”. Stella heads out to find Annie and bring her back home.

Quando un nuovo incarico la trascina in un vortice di violenza e segreti, la linea di confine tra giustizia e colpa si assottiglia fino a spezzarsi. Per non perdersi del tutto, Stella deve cambiare, ma ogni scelta ha un prezzo, e ogni prezzo presenta un conto. Ancora una volta Bologna fa da scenario, con le sue periferie ruvide, i suoi silenzi e le sue ombre. E ancora una volta Stella indaga, sfida, sbaglia, cade e si rialza, fino a ritrovarsi di fronte alla domanda più scomoda: quanto è diversa la donna che esce da questa nuova avventura rispetto a quella che vi era entrata?
