When Savannah, Georgia's most hated woman is set free, one mother's long ago crime ignites a new killing spree in #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson's blockbuster Southern thriller featuring crime writer Nikki Gillette and Detective Pierce Reed.

Now in paperback and perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Sandra Brown, and Lisa Gardner. The most hated woman in Savannah, Georgia, is about to be set free.

Twenty years ago, Blondell O'Henry was convicted of murdering her eldest daughter, Amity, and wounding her two other children. The prosecution argued that beautiful, selfish Blondell wanted to be rid of them to be with her lover. But Blondell's son has now recanted his testimony and demolished the case in the process . . .

Reporter Nikki Gillette is determined to get the truth, and not just for professional reasons. Amity was Nikki's childhood friend.

The night she died, Amity begged Nikki to meet with her, insisting she had a secret to tell, but Nikki didn't go. Wracked with guilt, as Nikki digs for answers, her fiancé, Detective Pierce Reed, worries for her safety. Everyone involved seems to have secrets. And somehow, the events of that tragic night connect to Nikki's own fractured family.

But now the killing has begun again. Is Amity's murderer still at large, or is this a new, darker danger? Soon Nikki will discover what really happened twenty years ago, but the answers may come too late to save her life . . .
