Killer

A woman who has spent her marriage as a trophy wife, there to look pretty while her own dreams were set aside for her husband's, learns his secrets after one chance encounter on one night. Soon afterward he is dead.

She feels anger, not grief. The man she married lied to her and cheated on her, and now the police treat her as the prime suspect in his murder. Her grief is absent, and her future is at risk.

Only her husband's brother believes she is innocent. His support gives her some relief, and it gives her the footing to start looking for the killer herself. She has no one else to turn to, and no reason to trust the story she was told about her own marriage.

The book is dark romantic suspense and a prequel to Stalker. It opens on the fallout of a single night and moves from the shock of exposed secrets to a hunt for answers, with suspicion hanging over the narrator throughout. The narrator tells it in the first person, so the reader stays close to her anger and her fear.

The danger is not over with the husband's death: whoever killed him may come for her next, and she has to find him and bring him to justice before he gets the chance.
