Offered in 0 more formatsWhen journalist Andrew Sherwood witnesses vandals assaulting a frightened woman, his nose for a story - more than concern for her welfare - motivates him to find out more about her. Why, he can't help wondering later, did she seem quite so terrified? And why is it so hard to track her down? Could she have something to hide?
Indeed, Louise Widdows is on the run - from a tyrannical husband with a shady past. When her mother dies, leaving a vacated cottage, she seizes the opportunity to abandon her miserable marriage. Safely ensconced in her new home, Louise eventually befriends Andrew and his young son, Nicky. With them she experiences the freedom and independence so long denied.
The past is not so easily discarded, however, and Louise gradually realizes that her husband may be more dangerous than she had thought. As her husband Colin's history catches up with him, he is intent on tying up all loose ends.
Louise Widdows has been trapped inside an unhappy marriage for decades, struggling to find the strength to leave. Then, seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident, Louise returns home from a long stay in the hospital to find her husband suddenly, and mysteriously, disappeared. So, late into middle age, Louise finds herself suddenly free to begin her life over--and to acknowledge the secret that has been haunting her for years: her son, born out of wedlock and given up at birth. But Louise's husband, Colin, has some secrets of his own, and she hasn't seen the end of him yet.
