Product Description
Pennie Doeth has spent her entire adult life trying to outrun violence. After surviving a brutal sexual assault as a teenager and years trapped in abusive relationships, she finally finds stability in suburban Michigan with her husband, Micah, an FBI agent, and their six-year-old daughter, Justice. To everyone around her, Pennie is the picture of composure: a respected Home Depot manager, devoted mother, loving wife, and mentor to women recovering from trauma. But beneath her calm exterior lives a rage shaped by years of pain, silence, and the realization that the men who destroyed lives like hers rarely face true consequences.When a string of savage murders begins targeting violent men across Detroit, law enforcement fears a serial killer is emerging. The victims are drug dealers, predators, abusers, and men accused of hurting women, each killed with terrifying precision. As Micah joins a multi-agency task force hunting the unknown murderer, Pennie listens carefully from across the dinner table, hiding a horrifying secret: she is part of a clandestine pact formed between trauma survivors who believe they are delivering justice where the system failed. By day, Pennie attends PTA meetings, teaches Krav Maga, and comforts victims at a support group. By night, she becomes something far more dangerous.But vengeance comes with a cost. As the investigation closes in, paranoia fractures the fragile alliance between Pennie and the other women involved in the killings. Mistakes are made. Loose ends emerge. Friends become threats. Forced to protect the life she treasures most, Pennie begins making darker and darker choices, all while Micah unknowingly hunts the woman sleeping beside him. Their marriage becomes a battlefield where love, loyalty, morality, and survival collide in devastating ways.Dark, emotionally charged, and psychologically gripping, this is a story about trauma, justice, and the monsters created when pain is left unanswered. At its heart is a terrifying question: if the world refuses to protect the vulnerable, what happens when survivors decide to protect themselves? Read more
