SynopsisINSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER A retired serial killer's quiet life is upended by an unexpected visitor. To protect her secret, there's only one option left--what's another murder? From bestselling author Samantha Downing. Lottie Jones thought her crimes were behind her. Decades earlier, she changed her identity and tucked herself away in a small town. Her most exciting nights are the weekly bingo games at the local church and gossiping with her friends. When investigative journalist Plum Dixon shows up on her doorstep asking questions about Lottie's past and specifically her involvement with numerous unsolved cases, well, Lottie just can't have that. But getting away with murder is hard enough when you're young. And when Lottie receives another annoying knock on the door, she realizes this crime might just be the death of her...
