Claire knows that Simon, the ex-husband, killed their daughter. And able to kill again. When Simon’s life returns to normal after the divorce, he starts a family, and Claire begins to fear for the life of his new stepdaughter — so similar to their dead girl. In an attempt to warn Simon’s fiancé about his true nature, Claire goes beyond all boundaries: she threatens, haunts, and causes genuine fear. Sloan Wilson got used to working with such people after leaving the police. But, looking closer, she sees more than the possessed ex-psychopath. And there is no way to distinguish painful fiction from destructive truth. But one thing Sloane knows for sure: sometimes the only way to prevent a crime is to commit it.
On the one hand, the successful, self-confident Simon Miller — an expensive suit, a dazzling smile. On the other — his ex-wife, broken by the tragic death of her daughter, nervous, eccentric, fresh from a psychiatric hospital, which accuses Miller of a terrible crime. Who will the reader believe — the narrator or her worst enemy? And what turn will history take when another woman intervenes, carrying her own burden of tragic disappointments?
