Morgan Prager, a thirty‑year‑old student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, is working on a thesis about victim psychology when her fiancé Bennett is found slain.

She learns that every detail he provided—his birthplace, residence in Montreal, and employment—was fabricated. Bennett is revealed to be a sociopath with several other fiancées, each now a target of murder. With each victim gone, Morgan realizes her research has become a matter of survival. The novel follows her desperate search to uncover the true killer before she becomes the next victim, blending psychological insight with suspenseful thriller elements.
