On June 27, 1996, thirty-year-old Anne Marie Fahey, who was the scheduling secretary for the governor of Delaware, had dinner with a man she had been having a secret affair with for more than two years. At forty-seven, "Tommy" Capano was perhaps the most politically powerful man in Wilmington. Sometime after 9:15 that night, something terrible happened to Anne Marie. Bestselling crime writer and former Seattle policewoman Ann Rule traces their lives as a seemingly unremarkable affair is slowly transformed into an obsessive, convoluted, and deadly relationship.
