Claudia Collison is not the first woman to loathe her husband’s ex and she is not the first woman to wish that the meddling mother of her stepson would disappear, but when Holly is gruesomely murdered Claudia learns first hand to be careful what you wish for.
Claudia’s job as a forensic psychologist for an experimental CID team for the Metropolitan Police usually gives her a front row seat to all the action, but finding herself and her husband Jeremy as suspects is proving to be a little close to home. With each passing day there are less people she can trust and she is forced to rely on the offbeat brilliance of her closest colleague, Clint Beverly.
Beverly has never been interested in making friends, so what does it matter to him that Claudia keeps looking at him with deep, pouty eyes, whining about her husband who is probably a killer. He wants to find who is murdering these girls, he wants to maintain a modicum of professional objectivity while doing it, but most of all, he wants to invent some sort of subscription based service where they bring you Thai food wherever you are without ever having to order.
As Beverly and Claudia investigate and more women turn up dead at the hands of the illusive Butterfly Killer, Claudia discovers more than one personal connection to the case and can’t ignore the feeling that the past is catching up to her, uprooting demons she thought were long buried.
