Second ChanceMorally Grey CharacterRevengeStalkerSerial Killer

IN A SMALL TOWN, SECRETS ARE KEPT… AND THEN THEY KILL.

After the death of her husband, Helen Makris is trying to rebuild her life in Tarrytown, Maine—a quiet coastal town where she hopes to spend her days in peace, pursuing her passion for photography.

Colonel Kevin Smith, nearing retirement, arrives in Tarrytown for a simple getaway. What he finds instead is something neither of them expected.

Each other.

But beneath Tarrytown’s postcard charm, something far darker is stirring.

A killer moves through the town unnoticed.

The Shaw Street Strangler.

As the brutal murders of young women begin to mount, fear spreads—and suspicion follows. When Kevin’s unexplained absences raise questions, he finds himself fighting not only to prove his innocence… but to protect the woman he’s come to love.

Because The Strangler didn’t come to Tarrytown for just anyone.

He came for Helen.

And he won’t stop until she belongs to him.
