Murder never felt so good
by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
Lauren Stillwell is not your average damsel in distress.
When the NYPD cop discovers her husband leaving a hotel
with another woman, she decides to beat him at his own
game. But her revenge goes dangerously awry, and she finds
her world spiraling into a hell that becomes more terrifying
by the hour.
In a further twist of fate, Lauren must take on a job that
threatens everything she stands for. Now, she's paralyzed by
a deadly secret that could tear her life apart. With her job
and marriage on the line, Lauren's desire for retribution
becomes a lethal inferno as she fights to save her
livelihood--and her life.
