Evangeline Carmichael has never been quick to trust men.
That begins to change when she meets Alastor , a charming, ambitious, man; determined to make his voice known across New Orleans as a rising radio star. What begins as an unlikely friendship soon becomes a courtship, one Alastor carefully orchestrates to cloak himself in respectability. Appearances matter to him. Evangeline, with her quiet devotion and spotless reputation, fits the role of a wife perfectly.
Years later, they are married, with a young daughter named Daisy, and Alastor's life appears complete. By day, he is a celebrated radio personality with a loving family. By night, he continues his work as a killer - a life he now must hide more carefully than ever.
As men begin to vanish and Alastor's "hunting trips" grow more frequent, the balance he relies on begins to slip. Evangeline notices the cracks, even as she resists what they might reveal. Loving him is easy. Questioning him is not.
Faced with a truth she may not survive, Evangeline must decide whether to confront the monster in her home, or remain willfully blind as she sleeps beside him.
