Tess Alexander is a struggling young writer with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She's been chosen to write a true-crime account of the decade's most sensational murder trial--the shocking case of ex-governor Chandler...accused of the arson-murders of his wife, daughter, and granddaughter.

Whatever the final verdict of the trial, the book is sure to be a best seller. For any other writer, it might be a ticket to fame. But for Tess, it can only be a one-way ticket to hell...

The hell of unveiling horrible secrets. Not about the Chandler family. *About her own tortured childhood...*

Praise for Deanie Mills fifth book, Loser’s Weepers:
"Deanie Mills is Mary Higgins Clark with an *edge.* Her writing is swift, suspenseful, involving, and unpredictable." -- Dean Koontz

"Deanie Mills brings suspense and terror directly into the heart of every parent. If this chiller doesn't keep you on the edge of your chair, not much will!" -- John Saul

"Mills writes the kind of books that Alfred Hitchcock loved to film. She's very, very good." -- Mystery Scene
