Florida Gold Coast, - 8 yrs old girl, psychiatrist Dr. Theodore Levin - prosperous, lecherous, kids old before their time.

In the sun-and-rum-drenched inner circles of Florida's Gold Coast, evil disguises itself as a precocious eight-year-old with unnatural desires---and murderous intentions...

Lucy is eight years old. She is an incredibly sweet and beautiful little girl with a precocious streak. Her worried parents send her to a psychiatrist when she begins to show signs of odd behavior.

I really enjoyed this book. It delved into the effect that a parent's behavior has on a child's development. I give this book an A+! ( )
