Summary
When a young woman falls in love with a wealthy heir, she thinks she is marrying into a life of privilege and adventure. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a relationship filled with infidelity, abuse, fear, a crap ton of weaponry, and so many mysterious murders that there is a possible link to the Zodiac Killer.
