She is on the verge of making a grave mistake, but is it really a mistake?
When twenty-eight years old Elizabeth is offered an outrageous amount of money to commit an unthinkable crime in New York, she suddenly sees herself as another Woman of Color, dominated by her White Masters. Firstly, she has been lured into the ESOS; a powerful white women's organization, and now, she is being seduced with breathtaking promises of affluent living. But then, what if she commits the crime? With the prize money, she could buy anything she's ever desired. Her life would suddenly be transformed from a struggling school teacher to a higher class. The odds are in her favor.
Elizabeth accepts to be the decoy. She arrives in New York and gets into action. But as she moves closer to her ordeal, observing her prey and knowing his weaknesses, she implores the most repulsive form of attraction, leading him, teasing him, and pleasing him. And just when everything seemed to have fallen into place, something bizarre happens, throwing the entire escapades into witch-hunting. Elizabeth couldn't understand what went wrong, as she was suddenly the haunted one. She wishes more than ever now to turn back the hands of time.

A deadly game is being played. The question is . . . who will survive?
***
As she waits to give her statement in one of the interrogation rooms of Arcata Police Department, Abigale recites the same line over and over inside her head.
I did not kill anyone.
I did not kill anyone.
But there's a trail of bodies, and it leads straight to her. The events that brought her to this very moment all point to one thing . . . her guilt.
She must convince Detective Collins of her innocence, but how can she explain her ties to the victims, and the evidence that has her name written all over it?
Then there's the mysterious Facebook profile, DarkHeart434.
Who is DarkHeart434? And why does it seem like this person has all the answers, including the identity of the real murderer?
As pieces of the puzzle start to come together, everything about Abigale's life begins to unravel--her past, her present . . . and even her self-proclaimed innocence.
