The number one hit from the USA by international bestselling author Rachel Caine. How often do you have to run away so that your past can no longer catch up with you? In an instant, Gina Royal's life is shattered: her husband is revealed to be a serial killer, and a wave of hatred and death threats comes crashing down on her as well. Together with her son and daughter, she flees from Kansas and changes her identity multiple times. When the three of them move into a small house by Stillhouse Lake in Tennessee, the shy Gina is a thing of the past. Now she is the tough Gwen, ready to do anything to protect her small family. For the first time, she dares to breathe and even begins to trust her new neighbor. Then, a young woman's body is found in the lake. The signs of her torture bear the bloody mark of her ex-husband, who is supposed to be in prison.
