Reid isn't the husband she believed him to be.
The marriage she treasured may have been built on lies from the very beginning.

Now Audrey must decide who she can trust before it's too late.
Because the closer she gets to the truth...
...the more dangerous it becomes.
And when the final mask falls, will she uncover the truth in time or discover that the greatest betrayal has been standing beside her all along?

Chapter: Chapter 127Audrey's POVReid opened the envelope standing at the kitchen counter, with his back to the room.I watched his shoulders. He was a man who spent every day deciding what his face would do, and he had trained that discipline into his whole body. His shoulders gave him away, as they always did. They dropped half an inch and stayed there."What is it?" Elena said.He didn't answer. He turned and laid it on the table, face up, between the untouched cups.A photograph. Glossy, a little grainy, the kind of print made from a small sensor in poor light. It showed this kitchen from above and slightly behind. It showed the table. Thane sat with his hands flat on the wood and his head half turned. Sterling had his chin on his chest. Elena's hand lay over his, and her face was turned away.I was in the corner of the frame, a pale shape on the left with my eyes on my father.A line of white digits ran along the bottom edge. 05:38."That's when Sterling told us about the grass," I said."Yes," Reid

Chapter: Chapter 126Reid's POVI was in the hall before the third ring ended.I don't remember deciding to move. Behind me a chair scraped, and Audrey said my name, and my father said something I didn't catch. I kept walking. The study door stood open, and the black phone sat on the desk with its cord on the carpet, dead as a stone.It rang a fourth time.It wasn't the phone. The sound came from behind the bookcase, small and tinny, a ring trying very hard to be the one I'd grown up with. My father had owned that telephone since before I could read. I used to lie on this floor and listen to it ring.I knelt and looked.The black box was still taped to the junction, but a red light the size of a pinhead had come on in its corner. A speaker grille no bigger than a thumbnail was ringing at me."It's not connected to anything," Sterling said from the doorway. He had followed me, and Audrey was behind him with her hand on his arm. "Reid. It's a recording.""I know.""Then don't touch it."I didn't touch the b

Chapter: Chapter 125Audrey's POVElena wouldn't let us stay in the study."Not in that room," she said, and switched off the television herself. The man in the doorway shrank to a white dot and went out. "Kitchen. Everyone."We sat around the table where I had eaten Sunday dinners for six years. Elena put out cups nobody touched. Sterling took the chair nearest the back door, and she took the one beside him without asking. Reid stayed standing by the counter with his arms crossed, looking at the floor.Thane sat across from me with his hands flat on the wood."You said you'd say it here," Reid told him."I know what I said.""Then say it."My father looked at Sterling for a long moment. "The watch," he said. "On the wrong wrist.""Go on," Sterling said."Dale was left-handed. Did you know that, Audrey? He wrote with his left and wore his watch on his right wrist from the time he was fourteen. Everybody teased him about it."I felt it before I understood it. Across the table, Sterling's face did something

Chapter: Chapter 124Reid's POVI drove the first three blocks with the headlights off and my hands at ten and two, like a boy taking his test.Nobody told me to stop. Sterling named each camera before we reached it, in the flat voice of a man reading a grocery list. The bank on the corner. The laundromat with the cracked dome. The dead light at Ninth, where I slowed to a crawl and then turned the headlights back on.The key sat in my coat pocket. It had been warm since Dale's house, and it was still warm. I knew that was only my own body heat. I kept noticing it anyway.In the mirror, Audrey sat with her phone dark in her lap. Thane was beside her, staring at his window. Neither of them looked at the other. Between them, my father's gray coat lay folded on the seat, and every few blocks Audrey's eyes dropped to it and came back up.I had asked her once what she was thinking when she went quiet like that. She'd said, "Nothing you'd want to hear." That was three years ago, and I had believed her. I took it

Chapter: Chapter 123Audrey's POVThane wouldn't let go of the locker.He had one hand flat against the metal like it might open if he held it long enough. Sterling was sitting up now, gray and breathing carefully, and Reid stood over both of them with Sterling's coat on his arm and a key in his pocket. Nobody had spoken for almost a minute."We can't stay here," I said."The crew comes at seven," Reid said."I mean we can't stay here and think. He's listening to us think."Reid looked at me."He knew about the knocking," I said. "He knew Sterling knocked twice. He knew Thane heard the lock. He knew the exact words from the call." I made myself say the rest. "None of that is guessing. Somebody gave him those things.""Dale's tapes," Reid said."For Dale's voice, yes. Not for Sterling's. Sterling was on the phone with us tonight. Somebody has been listening to him for a long time."My father-in-law lifted his head. "The study phone," he said slowly. "It's been clicking for months. I told Elena it was the l

Chapter: Chapter 122Reid's POVHe didn't run. That was the first thing wrong.He turned like a man leaving a dinner and walked along the bleachers toward the east wall with the coat swinging open. I went after him with the tire iron raised and the flashlight in my other hand. The beam jumped across bolted rows of wood, a flat basketball, a faded banner for a team that stopped existing before I could drive."Reid." Audrey, behind me. "Don't.""Stay with Thane.""Reid."I kept going. The beam found a fire door at the end of the wall. Push bar. The green exit sign above it was dead. He was already there, one hand resting on the bar, still not looking back."Nine o'clock," he said.It was my voice. Not close to it. Mine. The flat one, the one I'd used ten minutes earlier when I told him I wouldn't ask twice."Don't be late."He leaned and the door opened onto black air that smelled of wet leaves. I got there as it swung shut and hit the bar with my shoulder.An alley. Chain-link the demolition crew had hung
