The Wife of a Lesser Man

They were deeply in love, their days and nights filled with scintillating romance and passionate love making—even after 20 years of marriage.

Then fate delivered a hammer blow when a heart attack led to Mark’s impotency and Shelley’s unbearable frustration. Encouraged by a friend, Shelley becomes flirtatious and unfaithful, finding those moments of glorious intimacy for which she hungered with another man.

Mark, a police chief, suspects nothing as he channels all his time and energy into tracking down a serial killer. But when the murderer leaves a terrifying final clue too close to home, only Shelley can solve the case.
