This addictive new thriller will have you reading late into the night.

Margot has spent years hunting monsters. Now one of them has found her.

Carissa Withers—the Black Widow of Berkeley—has two months left on death row. Six husbands dead. A decade of calculated murder. Now Withers claims there were more, and she wants to tell Margot all about them.

Margot specializes in coaxing the truth from killers. She knows manipulation when she sees it. This could be a desperate ploy to delay the inevitable. But what if Withers is telling the truth?

The interview should be straightforward. Get the confession. Close the case. Move on.

Instead, there’s something about Carissa that gets under Margot’s skin. As the daughter of one of America’s most prolific serial killers, she’s spent her career proving she’s nothing like him. This case makes her wonder if she knows her own family at all. As the execution clock counts down and new evidence surfaces, soon she’s asking questions she’s been avoiding all her life about the people she loves most.
