The Perfect Wife

By Shannon Arrington

Eight months ago, Claire Davidson was invisible.

A former federal cybersecurity contractor with a top-secret clearance and seven years of penetration testing experience, she walked away from her career when the children came. Now she irons her husband's shirts on Tuesday mornings, drives school carpool, and sits across the dinner table from an FBI agent who brings his cases home because he trusts her completely.

He should not trust her completely.

While Special Agent Marcus Davidson investigates a string of deaths that look like accidents, Claire knows they are not accidents. She built them. From kitchen tables and parked cars and a workstation inside the field office where her husband works, she has been finishing what the law could not finish, targeting the people the system protected and the evidence could never reach.

But a first-year detective named Reeves has been watching. And the architecture of eight months of careful work has one crack in it that Claire did not see coming.

The Perfect Wife is a psychological thriller about justice, obsession, and the specific danger of a woman who has been asked to make herself smaller and decided instead to become the most capable person in every room she was never supposed to enter.
