A Stranger in the House

by Shari Lapena

She remembers how frightened she’d been. All those times she’d come home and found things slightly out of place, subtle signs that someone had been going through her things. It had scared her. And Tom knew nothing about it.

all they’ve found is a pair of pink rubber gloves with a floral

print near the elbows, discarded in a small parking lot a short distance away.

She escaped before—she got away from him, away from Las Vegas, started over.
