The book also introduces a subplot involving Iris, whose ex-husband is dismembered by the serial killer. This event sets off a chain reaction, leading to a kill list that puts Iris and her friends in the crosshairs of the police. As distrust mounts within the group, Iris, her daughter Maeve, and friends Leah and Jake must work together to unmask the killer before he strikes closer to home.
