Sadie Wise has finally tracked down her husband
Eddie, who left her five years ago, taking all her savings with him. Now in a
new relationship, all she cares about is getting him to agree to sign the
divorce papers so that she can move on. On the train to London to confront him,
Sadie finds herself confiding the whole story to a stranger, Mona Farrell. In
her mind, it’s a throwaway moment. In Mona’s mind, it’s a promise: she will rid
her new friend of her husband, and in exchange, Sadie will kill Mona’s
domineering father.
After securing the divorce, Sadie wants to put the
whole experience behind her – but then she learns that just after she left,
Eddie was stabbed to death. Mona took their chance encounter very seriously,
and she won’t leave Sadie alone until she’s fulfilled her end of their ‘deal.’ Meanwhile,
Eddie’s death has attracted the unwanted attention of the Gissings, a family
Sadie doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of. They hold Sadie firmly responsible,
and they want revenge.
