From the bestselling author of The Cleaner comes a propulsive and engrossing thriller following a young woman suspected of murdering her boss and lover.
How well do you know the man lying next to you?
Hallie thought Rafe was the perfect man-intelligent, charming, attractive. He also happens to be her boss at the museum. But, over the past few weeks, things between them have soured, and to make matters worse, someone is harassing Hallie at work, committing sabotage aimed to force her out of her job.
No matter who is responsible, Hallie believes she will be safe in Rafe's arms. She goes to sleep thinking that, after tonight, they can finally return to normal. And she wakes to find Rafe dead-murdered in his bed as Hallie slept beside him. All fingers point to Hallie and, unless she can find his killer, she'll go to prison for the rest of her life. But maybe that's where she'd be safest . . . MARY WATSON is from South Africa and now lives on the west coast of Ireland.
