A husband in love with his wife. A wife willing to do anything to escape him. An affair turned deadly.

From USA TODAY bestselling author Pamela Crane comes a domestic noir short story about a deadly obsession.

The pregnancy test he found in the garbage confirmed it: Fatherhood at last. But when his wife announces her desire for divorce—and a majority of their assets—Hollywood icon Allen Michaels loses not only his wife, but his sanity. As Allen reveals the gory secrets of his mysterious past, with love leaving him battered and broke, how far is too far to avenge the promise of “til death do us part”?

Unleash Allen’s hidden demons in this darkly riveting short story as he takes justice into his own demented hands...

The companion story to the bestselling psychological thriller, The Admirer's Secret. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni's Third Watch and Dean Koontz's The Neighbor.

Ratings and reviews

It was about a married couple who had a terrible marriage. Well the wife decided to move on and became pregnant. Well because of the divorce and the baby as well as the financial strain, the husband wanted her dead. He kidnapped her and tied her up.. Left her with just a loaf of bread and a bottle of water.. You should read to see if she die.. ✌🏾

Excellent short story. The switch between first person and third person narrative was a bit confusing at first but it actually made sense. A good read.

A great little book. Loved it. A wealthy, successful man and his wife drift apart. He was longing for a family but his wife wasn't. She loved the trappings of wealth, the lovely home etc, and didn't want a child interfering with her selfish life. Then her husband finds out she is pregnant. A story with a moral. Pots of money mean nothing without purpose, self respect, and a faithful, loving spouse. Recommended.

About the author

PAMELA CRANE is a professional juggler. Not the type of juggler who can toss flaming torches in the air, but a juggler of four kids, a writing addiction, a horse rescuer, and a book editor by trade. She lives on the edge (ask her Arabian horse about that—he’ll tell you all about their wild adventures while trying to train him) and she writes on the edge. Writing murder mysteries is her escape from the real world of dirty diapers and cleaning horse stalls, and she bases her characters on real people, so be warned!

She is a USA Today best-selling author of several award-winning thrillers: Pretty Ugly Lies, A Fatal Affair, and The Admirer's Secret. She has also written the chilling Little Things That Kill Series, which includes The Scream of Silence, The Art of Fear, and The Death of Life, and The Killer Thriller Series, including A Secondhand Lie and A Secondhand Life, which you can find on her website at www.pamelacrane.com.
