Eliza Jabore began globetrotting at seventeen and spent the next decade devoted to travelling. She met her husband abroad and, after many years of adventure, finally planted roots back in her hometown in Iowa where she has two kids, two cats, and a dog. Backstabbers is her debut novel.
A deliciously tense, edge-of-your-seat reading experience that will have you turning pages well into the night, desperate to know what happens to this trio of women hiking in the former hunting ground of a serial killer. With the spine of a fast-paced thriller, Backstabbers is, at its core, a story about survival: against the elements, against predators, and most chillingly, against the people you consider your closest friends. One of the most twisted and shocking explorations of female friendship I've read... and I loved every pulse-pounding moment. -- LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here Like the Blair Witch Project with a serial killer, Backstabbers is full of twists and unexpected turns. Every time I thought I'd identified the killer, I became lost on the map. Perfect for fans of murder podcasts, hikers, and people who don't completely trust their best friends. -- TASHA CORYELL, author of Love Letters to a Serial Killer Don't you dare turn your back on Backstabbers, a deliciously sinister sojourn into true crime country, full of cunning switchbacks and eviscerations, where every shocking twist threatens to send the reader's jaw plummeting straight down -- CLAY McLEOD CHAPMAN, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
