Description

Can you ever really know someone? Six years after her ex-husband is sentenced to death for a series of gruesome murders, Leigh Wren has almost succeeded in putting her past to rest. But her assumed identity quickly unravels when the father of one of her ex-husband's victims begins stalking her and publicly exposes her past. As Leigh grapples with memories of her marriage to a man whom she exposed to the world as a deviant serial killer, a more deadly game of cat and mouse begins: A new killer emerges, one whose methods are frighteningly similar to those used by her ex-husband, who is on death row thousands of miles away. With the clock ticking down and the victims of a new, unknown killer mounting, Leigh forces herself to probe the dark corridors of her past to save her life and her son's. Psychological suspense and harrowing insights drive this highly entertaining thriller from a major new voice.

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
It's hard to imagine what it would be like to discover that your husband is a gruesome serial killer who believes you're ready (and willing) to share his secrets. Leigh thinks she has left her husband, her old life, and her old name--Nina--behind, but, sadly, she learns that you can run, but you can't hide. As Keating tells of Leigh's earlier life as Nina, he presents her as a formerly naòve young woman who has learned to be protective, skeptical, and suspicious. Keating vividly portrays the young mother's panic at her discovery of her husband's crimes and her attempts to remain calm and steady for the sake of her young son. Included is an interview with Floyd, in which he discusses how he developed the idea for this book. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
