Detective Ally Emerson has discovered a truth more devastating than she ever imagined: the husband she survived for years was not only abusive, but a murderer, a rapist, and a man living a double life of crime. What once appeared to be a case against Ally for his death has exploded into a far-reaching investigation into Cameron Emerson's hidden past.

Suspended from the police while the circumstances of his death are examined, Ally finds refuge in the one place she feels safe-Detective Kate Snow's home. What began as professional support has deepened into something far deeper, and for the first time in years, Ally allows herself to believe that a new future might be possible. But the nightmare surrounding her husband's crimes is far from over.

As investigators uncover Cameron's secret world-murders, affairs, stalking, and the obsessive recording of women-Ally is forced to confront the full extent of the man she once lived with. Each new revelation tightens the net of danger around her.

Then, in the dead of night, the threat becomes terrifyingly real. A man breaks into Kate Snow's home, knocking Kate unconscious before abducting Ally from her bed. Taken without warning, Ally is thrust into a fight for survival.

Who is the man who has taken her-and how deeply is he connected to Cameron Emerson's legacy of violence? Can Ally find the strength to escape before the secrets of the past claim her future?
