Boulder, Colorado. When former patient Gibbs Storey returns to the offices of psychologist Alan Gregory, she is every bit as attractive as Alan remembered. But not even her looks are as stunning as the revelation she is about to tell: Gibbs suspects her husband Sterling of murdering one of her friends. And not only that, but she thinks there are other victims . . . and that her husband has not finished his killing spree yet.
Tied by his strict patient confidentiality, Alan walks a perilous ethical line in revealing just enough to interest his detective friend, Sam Purdy. As Alan continues his sessions with Gibbs, he struggles to reconcile her tales of a dark, twisted marriage with the calm, cool woman sitting before him.
Sam's investigations take him south, and he is certain he is hunting a serial killer on a last, frantic rampage. But he doesn't know the secrets that Gibbs is revealing to Alan Gregory back in Boulder: the secrets that Alan is keeping to himself; secrets that somehow, somebody else has already heard . . .
