'I tore through this edge-of-your-seat, up-all-night thriller...Timely and gripping, don't miss this one.' - bestselling author Katy Brent

Trusted officer. Family man. Monster?

Becky Lawson's life has been shattered.

When she discovered her husband, John - a trusted policeman - was a monster, she reported him. But her faith in the system was crushed when it didn't lead to any charges or consequences.

Now, John lives freely with a new girlfriend and her young daughter, while Becky battles guilt over missing the obvious signs.

Determined for justice, Becky hunts him down. But John wants her silenced - at any cost. Becky knows only one of them can survive, and she'll do anything to make sure it's her.

Becky must tread carefully though, because John isn't the only bad apple lurking in the shadows...

A gripping heart-in-mouth psychological thriller that asks: What would you do if you found out the man you loved was rotten to the core? Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, B.A. Paris and the Netflix hit TV series You.
