M.R. Henderson now fulfills the promise of her stunning debut novel, IF I SHOULD DIE, with an electrifying new story of suspense. A riveting exercise in sheer terror.

Somewhere around Los Angeles. And when Eve Foxx returns home to put her feverish child to bed and sit out the storm's savage attack she comes to the horrifying realization that there is someone else in the house...
