"A family is wiped out after a burglary gone wrong. An executive accused of embezzling kills himself and his loved ones. A house fire claims the lives of all its inhabitants. Separate incidents with two common threads-a first wife who took her own life, and a secret the victims took to their graves. Stephanie Coburn has barely recovered from her sister's mysterious suicide before her brother-in-law and his new wife are murdered, her face disfigured beyond recognition. Stephanie never met the bride, has never even seen a clear photograph. But she knew her sister, and she knows something is desperately wrong. The police won't listen. Her only ally is another victim's son. Step by step, they're uncovering a trail of brutal vengeance and a killer who will never relent-and whose forgiveness can only be earned in death"--Page 4 of cover.

At first, the deaths seem random. A young Portland couple brutally murdered in a game gone awry...a Chicago woman who plummeted to her death from an office building...an aspiring screenwriter asphyxiated in his New York apartment. But the macabre souvenirs television reporter Sydney Jordan receives hint at a connection that is both personal and terrifying. After events in her own life went wrong, Sydney fled to Seattle with her teenage son. But instead of getting a fresh start, Sydney is plagued by strange occurrences. Someone is watching, someone who knows her intimately...someone who's just waiting to play the next move in a twisted game. She is his chosen one. Every murder is a sign, and soon, Sydney will understand why each victim had to suffer - and why she's the next in line.

A Thrilling Historical Suspense Novel of a WWII Era Serial Killer

As WWII rages overseas, a serial killer preys on women working in Seattle's factories in this provocative blend of vivid, richly detailed historical fiction and taut suspense from New York Times bestselling author Kevin O'Brien. "A sweeping, addictive story of bravery and sacrifice...Authentic period detail creates a suspenseful, chilling atmosphere in this grand historical novel." -Susan Wiggs, # 1 New York Times bestselling author "Fast-paced, suspenseful, and intriguing...Super enjoyable." -Elizabeth George, # 1 New York Times bestselling author "A compulsively unputdownable, keep-you-guessing-to-the-end, pages-flying whodunit. Packed with compelling, complicated characters in a fascinating and meticulously-researched time and place." -Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is 1943, Seattle. While raging war reshapes the landscape of Europe, its impact is felt thousands of miles away too. Before the war, Nora Kinney was one of countless housewives and mothers in her comfortable Capitol Hill neighborhood. Now, with her doctor husband stationed in North Africa, Nora feels compelled to do more than tend her victory garden or help with scrap metal drives . . . At the Boeing B-17 plant, Nora learns to wield a heavy riveting gun amid the deafening noise of the assembly line--a real-life counterpart to "Rosie the Riveter" in the recruitment posters. Yet while the country desperately needs their help, not everyone is happy about "all these women" taking over men's jobs. Nora worries that she is neglecting her children, especially her withdrawn teenage son. But amid this turmoil, a sinister tragedy occurs: One of Nora's coworkers is found strangled in her apartment, dressed in an apron, with a lipstick smile smeared on her face. It's the beginning of a terrifying pattern, as women war-plant workers like Nora are targeted throughout Seattle and murdered in the same ritualistic manner. And eclipsing Nora's fear for her safety is her secret, growing conviction that she and the killer are connected--and that the haven that was her home has become her own personal battlefield . . . "Nobody writes suspense better than Kevin O'Brien. Read The Enemy at Home, but do so with the lights on." -Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author "The curves in the plot kept me reading late into the night (while checking the locks on my doors!)." -Erica Bauermeister, New York Times bestselling author of No Two Persons

"After killing a stalker who broke into her home, young widow Laurie Trotter takes her baby son and moves to Seattle, where she hopes to lay low and start over again. The dead man's brother--a charismatic sociopath with a 'family' of followers--is bent on revenge. Laurie's first job in Seattle is in a food truck catering a film production. The movie is based on the real-life 1970 murders of an actress, her husband, and their baby's nanny--and all the actual locales are being used. The 'cursed' film is plagued with on-the-set accidents and bizarre deaths. It's hardly the place for Laurie to 'lay low'"--Author's website.
