The author of
The Pocket Wife explores the dark side of love, marriage, and infidelity in this sizzling novel of psychological suspense.
Everybody’s luck runs out. This time it could be theirs . . .
It
isn’t safe. That’s what Joe tells her when he ends their affair—moments
before their car skids off an icy road in a blinding snowstorm and hits
a tree. Desperate to keep her life intact—her job, her husband, and her
precious daughter, Lily—Dorrie will do everything she can to protect
herself, even if it means walking away from the wreckage. Dorrie has
always been a good actress, pretending to be someone else: the dutiful
daughter, the satisfied wife, the woman who can handle anything. Now
she’s going to put on the most challenging performance of her life. But
details about the accident leave her feeling uneasy and afraid. Why
didn’t Joe’s airbag work? Why was his car door open before the EMTs
arrived? And now suddenly someone is calling her from her dead lover’s
burner phone. . . .
Joe’s death has left his wife in free fall as
well. Karen knew Joe was cheating—she found some suspicious e-mails.
Trying to cope with grief is devastating enough without the constant
fear that has overtaken her—this feeling she can’t shake that someone is
watching her. And with Joe gone and the kids grown, she’s vulnerable . .
. and on her own.
Insurance investigator Maggie Devlin is
suspicious of the latest claim that’s landed on her desk—a man dying on
an icy road shortly after buying a lucrative life insurance policy.
Maggie doesn’t believe in coincidences. The former cop knows that
things—and people—are never what they seem to be.
As the fates of
these three women become more tightly entwined, layers of lies and
deception begin to peel away, pushing them dangerously to the edge . . .
closer to each other . . . to a terrifying truth . . . to a shocking
end...
