About this item
It isn't safe. That's what Joe tells her when he ends their affair moments before their car skids off an icy road in a blinding snowstorm and hits a tree. Desperate to keep her life intact, Dorrie will do everything she can to protect herself, even if it means walking away from the wreckage. Joe's death has left his wife in free fall as well. Trying to cope with grief is devastating enough without the constant fear that has overtaken her this feeling that someone is watching her. Insurance investigator Maggie Devlin is suspicious of the latest claim that's landed on her desk. The former cop knows that things are never what they seem to be. As the fates of these three women become tightly entwined, layers of lies and deception begin to peel away, pushing them to a shocking end.
