The Killer's Wife

by Susan Furlong · 2023

When a severed finger is discovered in her car, Kerry Grey is arrested as an accomplice to a string of brutal murders. Unaware that her missing husband Lucas is the true serial killer, she spends four years behind bars before finally earning parole and hoping to rebuild a life with her young son. But a vigilante mob, spurred by fear and a cash reward, ignites a frantic hunt for Lucas, dragging Kerry back into a nightmare of media frenzy and suspicion. Her only ally is parole officer Adam Nash, who has relocated to the remote town of Joy, Montana—yet his motives may be as tangled as the case itself. As Kerry uncovers Lucas’s macabre gifts of bone carvings for their son and a fresh dismembered body surfaces in the forest, the law closes in once more. Forced onto a treacherous mountain trail, she must confront the Hatchet Killer, unravel hidden betrayals, and decide whether to end the horror or become its next victim.
