In Indiana the condemned die at midnight. Killers like Peter Tapley, a twisted man who lived in his mother's shadow and took his hatred out on trusting young women.

Six years after Tapley's execution, his ex-wife Jill is trying to live down his crimes. But somewhere in the chilly night someone won't let her forget. Someone who still blames her for her husband's hideous deeds. Someone who plans to make her pay ... in blood.
