She stumbles into the street in a thin cotton nightdress, tripping in her haste to get away from her house. Her feet are bare, her movements frantic. "I have to get out of here," she pleads. "He's killing me."
For weeks, Carolyn Tate 's suspicions that her husband is trying to kill her have been ignored-by her neighbors, her friends and even her family. But just two hours after her last attempt to make someone listen, her body is discovered.
Carolyn's neighbor, ex-police officer Sally Fairburn , is determined to seek justice for her friend's death. But although Carolyn suspected her husband, Sally finds no evidence he was involved. And Carolyn's best friends are strangely quick to defend him.
Sally knows one of Carolyn's friends, Lauren, is hiding something. She can see it in her tear-stained cheeks, averted eyes and tense shoulders: Fear. But just as Lauren's finally ready to come clean, she is murdered in a brutal hit and run. Reeling from Lauren's death, Sally is horrified to receive a series of dropped calls and anonymous flowers, leaving her with the unsettled feeling that she, too, is being followed.
Then, on edge but feeling closer than ever to the truth, Sally watches a stranger threaten her teenage son-a finger drawn across his throat. Her world stops. It's not just Sally at risk-everyone she loves is in danger unless she finds the truth. Can Sally stop a brutal killer before more innocent lives are lost?
A gripping, addictive crime thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, Greg Olsen and Melinda Leigh. Be prepared to sleep with the light on.
