About The Butcher's Wife
Robin Patterson has been following her husband -- and she's terrified of what she might find. She had a perfect life until he came home with blood on his shirt. Just a deer, he said, an unlucky encounter on a dark, barren road. But then, just one week later, it happened again. Blood on his shirt, scratch marks on his back, and a whole lot of excuses that just don't add up. Or at least that's what she claims. Jimmy Hunter isn't so sure. A private investigator with a dark, disturbing past of his own, he's perfectly suited to see through lies. Only this time, it's not so easy. The news says there's a violent killer on the loose and the local river has a bounty of human remains to prove it. Is Robin's husband responsible? Is she telling the truth? Or are they both part of something bigger and more sinister than Jimmy could ever imagine?
