And finally, we have Drew Malcolm - a journalist with a wildly popular podcast called Things We Do In The Dark. The clock's ticking down to a full blown confrontation when Paris's location hits the news. She’s fully aware of Paris's real identity and is using the information to threaten and blackmail Paris.

The story continues with the introduction of Ruby Reyes aka the Ice Queen who’s being released from prison after serving 25 years for the murder of a man. She can't afford for her past to catch up with her. If someone from her past recognizes her, the carefully constructed facade she's been living for twenty-five years will be blown. What happened? As bad as it looks, Paris fears it'll get worse when the devastating news and pictures hit the national tabloids and newspapers. Paris is confused and disoriented, but there's no denying the horrific fact that her celebrity husband Jimmy is dead in the bloody bathtub.

This story opens with an intense scene that quickly grabs readers' attention when Paris Peralta awakens on the floor of her upscale bathroom holding a bloody straight razor and staring at an armed police officer yelling at her to drop the weapon.

At least three story lines appear to run concurrent through much of the story before finally being woven together with some major revelations by the end. Per Hillier's now signature style, characters are deeply complex and plot lines are convoluted. Things We Do In The Dark is a multilayered, complex thriller delivered through multiple points of view in a past/present story line.
