Someone You Thought You Knew

The scariest crime is the one you never see coming. In the US, only 21% of homicides are carried out by a stranger. You are most likely to be murdered by someone you know, someone who would never do you harm… or so you thought. Even in cases when the killer appears to be random, there is often something more sinister lying beneath the surface – a calculated plot, set in motion by someone close, someone you thought you knew… who turned out to be a perfect stranger.

SOMEONE YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW tells the stories of murders that were orchestrated by a master manipulator scheming right under the victim’s nose. These wolves in sheep’s clothing use deception as a weapon to try to get away with murder.

At first, his or her clever plot and disarming false tears throw detectives off the scent, but eventually, after going down a rabbit hole and popping back up, investigators uncover the truth, exposing something far more sinister than anyone ever saw coming. These are tales of psychological suspense and shifting suspicion in the vein of classic thrillers like Presumed Innocent.
