A mother wakes up to find her family dead around her – and everyone thinks she did it.

“That morning, it was the smell of percolating coffee and pancakes that finally woke her. The smell of fresh blood came later.”

Three years ago, Daphne Monroe’s family were murdered while she slept. To the police, she’s the prime suspect. To the world, she’s a monster. To the killer…she’s the next victim.

Broken-hearted, Daphne will stop at nothing to get justice for her dead children, but her investigations lead her further into a web of unexpected connections, suspicious deaths, and shattering betrayals. And all the while, the killer is closing in and Daphne is running to stay ahead…
