From New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart comes
a riveting novel about the unexpected, shattering, and
lethal consequences of a one-night stand on a seemingly
happily married couple that will “appeal to Harlan Coben or
Gillian Flynn fans” (Booklist, starred review).
Kate loves her life. At forty-four, she’s happily married to
her kind husband, Ron, blessed with two wonderful children,
and has a beautiful home in San Francisco. Everything
changes, however, when she and Ron attend a dinner party and
meet another couple, Peter and Jill. Kate and Peter only
exchange a few pleasant words but that night, in bed with
her husband, Kate is suddenly overcome with a burning desire
for Peter.
What begins as an innocent crush soon develops into a
dangerous obsession and Kate’s fixation on Peter results in
one intense, passionate encounter. Confident that her life
can now go back to normal, Kate never considers that Peter
may not be so willing to move on.
Not long after their affair, a masked man barges into the
café Kate is sitting in with her best friend, firing an
assault weapon indiscriminately into the crowd. This tragedy
is the first in a series of horrifying events that will show
Kate just how grave the consequences of one mistake can be.
