As she meets members of his circle and learns of them and their plans for her, she gradually comes to realize that they are all involved in a conspiracy that has led to murders, kidnappings, and secret plots.

The last person anyone would expect to be convicted of murder is a decorated war hero, but Albert Carstairs is accused of killing his wife. A pregnant woman who’s been abandoned by her fiancé and her sister. One of the three people she asked for help when the unthinkable happened. The police have the right person in jail, but what if they’re wrong?
