Martha Ratliff, a librarian in Maine, thought she would spend her life alone. But then she met Alan, a charming and sweet-natured salesman. A year in and the marriage was good, except for that strange blood streak on the back of one of his shirts he'd worn to a conference in Denver. Her curiosity turning to suspicion, Martha investigates the cities Alan visited over the past year and uncovers a disturbing pattern--five unsolved cases of murdered women. Martha contacts Lily Kintner, an old friend from graduate school, for advice. Lily offers to meet Alan to find out what kind of man he really is. But what Lily uncovers is more perplexing and wicked than they ever could have expected.
