Lizzie’s mother is dead, and left in the care of her prim older sister, the 15-year-old fears her carefree ways are over. But when tragedy strikes again, Lizzie discovers a sinister web of lies and deception, of murders past and present. Fierce resentments and racial tensions boil beneath the illusion of civilization. Soon, Lizzie finds herself ensnared in a secret that stretches from the opium dens of British Columbia and the alleys of San Francisco to the jungles of Panama and beyond — and it’s a secret that the murderer will do anything to protect.
Bucket of Blood is the first book in the Lizzie Saunders Mysteries.
"Bannerman writes in a very clean style of prose, but every so often she'll turn a phrase so striking that it's almost poetry."
– Frank Zafiro, author of The Last Horseman, Waist Deep, and the River City Crime series
"Bannerman offers a clear insight into the mind of a tyrannical sociopath."
– Scott Sandridge, Tangent Short Fiction Review
"My insides are squealing in delight and horror... Truly a great story."

"I highly recommend 'Bucket of Blood'... Lizzie very much reminds me of a young female Sherlock Holmes, including all of the mental complexities that make him so brilliant."
