Newlywed Mary Langner's body surfaced in the icy waters of Rockaway, New York, one day after her husband reported her missing from their cabin. Angela Doran is murdered on the one-month anniversary of her marriage. P.I. Gwenn Ramadge, hired by Mary's distraught mother, can't help but wonder if the cases are connected. Both brides were beautiful. Both lives were destroyed at the peak of nuptial joy. Each husband is not just the key suspect, but the only suspect.

When future bride Becky Hayman disappears while walking in the woods - and her fiance is the last person to have seen her alive - Gwenn is certain the three cases are connected. She hasn't a clue why, but she's determined to find out.

As determined as the killer is to stop her . . .
