Lily Forrester, a Ventura County judge, finds herself in a mix of bizarre circumstances that lead her onto the trail of a vicious criminal mind. Her husband calls her from a Las Vegas jail where he has been arrested for attempted rape--but Las Vegas wasn't on his itinerary. His accuser, Anne Bradley, is an enigmatic woman with an eerie past, a woman to whom Lily is strangely drawn.

FBI Agent Mary Stevens is tracking a killer whose victims are husbands who cheat on their wives.  Their mutilated bodies are disposed of in ghastly ways and strange locations.

The murderer's trail leads to a web service that provides alibis for cheating spouses and into a thick web of deception that puts both Lily's and Mary's lives in jeopardy.
