Susie Harriot, a respected psychiatrist, has been convicted of the brutal murder of a serial killer in her care, leaving her with a life sentence and the loss of her home, family, and two-year-old daughter. Her husband, Lachlan, is determined to prove her innocence and delves into her case notes, interviews, and press cuttings from the trial. However, as he discovers more, he suspects that his wife has been hiding a dark secret.

Susie's past is shrouded in mystery, with rumors of a troubled childhood and a troubled marriage. Lachlan begins to uncover evidence that suggests Susie may have been driven to commit the murder by a deep-seated trauma or mental illness. He searches for answers in her past, but every lead seems to lead him further into a web of lies and deceit.

As the trial unfolds, Susie's mental state begins to deteriorate, and she becomes increasingly paranoid and delusional. She believes that the serial killer is still out there, waiting to strike again, and that Lachlan is working with him to frame her for the murder. Lachlan is torn between his love for his wife and his duty to protect the public from a dangerous killer.

In the end, the truth about Susie's past and the true nature of the serial killer's motives are revealed, and Lachlan must make a difficult decision that will change their lives forever. The novel is a masterly psychological web of people on the edge and the devils that lie beneath their apparent respectability, and it explores the themes of love, loyalty, and the dark corners of the human mind.
