Amid the depths of a bleak Boston winter a recently married couple find their lives and their relationship unraveling, in this brilliantly twisting domestic thriller from a new master of suspense.

Detective Rita Myers hasn’t yet figured out whether Eve is a target or a suspect, but every disturbing discovery in this usually peaceful neighborhood seems to revolve around her. Only as a deadly ice storm crashes through does it become clear just how far from perfect Eve and Nathan’s lives really are. And as the cracks in the surface come to light, so do the sinister secrets that lie beneath …
