What to expect
Four housewives. One quiet street. A Cold War secret that could destroy everything.
In a town built around America’s most secretive nuclear site, housewife Betty Mahoney knows the rules: don’t ask questions, and don’t listen too closely.
But when the Beckers move in, Betty and the other wives start to notice things. Headlights in the dark. Whispered voices on the wind. A beautiful new neighbor with too many secrets – and it’s not long before suspicion turns into something far more dangerous.
As the women close in on the truth, they must risk their marriages, their freedom, and even their lives…
Inspired by the author’s own family history.
