Dan believed he and Sandra were Soul Mates-until she betrayed him. Now, with her blood on his hands, he's on the run, desperate to reach a remote cabin where he hopes to disappear.
But his plans unravel when he encounters Babe-a woman who looks exactly like Sandra, but damaged, lost and unable to remember her past.
As they travel a dark highway together, Dan must decide: is Babe the second chance he's been hoping for, a way to undo his crime and reclaim the love he destroyed? Or is she a figment of his tortured mind-or something far more terrifying?
You Always Kill the One You Love is a hypnotic, dark psychological thriller in the tradition of Daniel Lehane, Megan Abbott, and Alex Michaelides-a haunting exploration of obsession, delusion, guilt, and the razor-thin line between love and destruction.
Book 1 of the Twisted series, in which award-winning author James Dain delivers dark psychological suspense novels where the narrators are not detectives-but the very people committing the crimes. Each book is a noir crime thriller steeped in moral ambiguity, unreliable truths, and shocking twist endings.
Just wow! James Dain writes stories you can't put down!
-Charles Anceney, author of The Boy in the Boat
