From the Inside Flap:

Gordon Murphy doesn't look insane. But he is. He doesn't look dangerous. But he is. He doesn't look like a murderer. But he is.

Murphy has been looking for the perfect woman since he turned forty. Now that he's fifty, he thinks that Cassandra Mitchell fills the bill. The fact that she is living happily with RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg is completely irrelevant.

While Muphy plots to ensnare Cassandra, Alberg is preoccupied with a rash of crime on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. An epidemic of bizarre robberies, an unpleasant young couple who are snatching their children back and forth from each other, and a drug-related murder all distract Alberg from the deadly menace that threatens his lover.

If Alberg doesn't act soon, Cassandra is about to become Woman Number Five in Gordon Murphy's murderous history.
