Ben and Narcy Novak's marriage was held together by mutually-assured destruction. He had all the money. She had all the dirt.

Ben Jr. Novack had it all - wealth, influence, and a thriving convention business that made him millions each year. He was also the son of one of the world’s most successful hoteliers. But none of that would protect him from a gruesome death at the hands of the person he should have trusted the most. A wife who took her vows of “til death do us part” to a whole new twisted and sadistic level, stopping at nothing to make sure that if she couldn’t have him, no one could.
