They survived what no woman should ever have to endure. Now
these three women have the means, the opportunity, and the
perfect motive. Are they trying to get away with murder--or
is someone trying to make sure that this time they don’t
get away at all? The Survivors Club. . .that’s what Jillian
Hayes, Carol Rosen, and Meg Pesaturo call it. They won’t
consider themselves victims. They are survivors. They faced
the blazing headlines and helped lead the investigation
that caught the man who changed their lives forever.
And now that Eddie Como, the College Hill rapist, has been
murdered, shot down outside a packed courthouse moments
before his trial was about to begin, all three women are
openly ecstatic that he’s dead. They are also the prime
suspects in his murder. Detective Sergeant Roan Griffin
knows all too well what can drive even the best people to
cross the line. But he has never seen a case quite like
this one. No one doubts that the murder of Eddie Como was a
professional job, especially when the gunman is killed only
blocks away from the shooting.
But questions taunt Griffin: Who ordered the deaths of
Eddie Como and his killer? Could three ordinary women have
been driven to do he unthinkable? Had someone in the
Survivors Club become a killer? Griffin seeks the truth--
and finds himself confronted with the leader of the
Survivors Club. Jillian Hayes is beautiful, successful,
cool as ice, and she harbors a pain that mirrors Griffin’s
own. Did the horror of what happened to her push her over
the thin and desperate line that separates survival and
revenge? And if it did, could he blame her--or anyone in
the Survivors Club? Then another woman is brutally
attacked.
Suddenly, with the city on the ragged edge of panic,
gripped in a media and political firestorm of controversy,
cover-up, and conspiracy, the hunt is on for a ruthless and
cunning killer. For Griffin, this may well be the case that
shatters his career. For Jillian, the harrowing nightmare
is beginning all over again. Someone is out there. Someone
who wants to finish what was started. Someone who wants to
make sure that no one survives the Survivors Club.
