She killed her husband. Now he's back.
For fans of Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner—a gripping thriller where the hunter has secrets darker than her prey.
Seven years ago, FBI agent Avery Carver killed her husband on their honeymoon. He'd hidden his violent nature until they were alone in a foreign country. When he attacked, she fought back. He went over the balcony into the dark water below. His body was never recovered.She told authorities it was an accident. She's told herself the same thing ever since.
Now someone knows the truth. Mysterious messages arrive—honeymoon photos, references only her dead husband would know. Someone is watching. Someone wants her to know her secret isn't safe.
But Avery can't fall apart. Not now. Women are dying across Portland, poisoned after dinner dates with a man who doesn't exist.
He finds them on dating apps, charms them over home-cooked meals in Airbnbs rented under fake names, then vanishes without a trace. No real identity. No digital footprint. Just a growing body count of women who trusted the wrong man.
Avery recognizes the trap these women fell into. She barely escaped it herself.
As she hunts a killer who hides behind a perfect mask, her own is slipping. The messages are escalating. And she's getting close enough to the poisoner that he's noticed her too.
Now Avery is caught between the ghost of her past and a killer who's deciding whether she's an obstacle—or his next victim.
Some secrets don't stay buried. Some killers don't stay dead.
