A present she couldn't remember and a past that refused to let go. Karen Kropf was at home preparing dinner for her husband. She expected him to arrive at any moment. The phone rang—the call she hoped she'd never receive. She ran to her car and sped off toward a neighborhood she'd never thought of visiting. She peered inside the dark, deserted building, steeling herself for the worst. After that, she remembered nothing. The police told her husband, Tom, that she'd been in an accident. She must have lost control of her car, speeding through that desolate part of town. The police suspected she'd done something dangerous. Her husband refused to believe it, but her closest friend wasn't so sure. Even Karen didn't know what to believe. She returned home with her husband to find that something had shifted. The police continued to question and wonder relentlessly. A stranger must have entered the house. Indeed, everyone was a stranger. Everyone had A hidden secret, a secret that could kill for it.
