Hickory Dickory Dock

Susan James, a librarian, flees from her psychopathic husband, Blaine, a former Navy SEAL. He called her “Mouse.”

Blaine uses gaslighting and manipulation to keep Susan trapped in the marriage. She starts a new life in Las Vegas, but Blaine tracks her down. He soon realizes that the “hunter” has become the “hunted.” Susan has a lover, former FBI agent Derrick Hampton, and a new life. Blaine won’t let her go.

Suspense builds as they play out a cat-and-mouse game. Blaine knows her weaknesses and sets traps for “Mouse.” They engage in a psychological battle—her quiet resilience against his grand strategies to keep her in his grip. Can the mouse escape the trap twice?

There’s something Blaine cannot control—the ancestral grandfather clock. The sound is haunting. The clock knows.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

A chilling tale of survival, obsession, and the quiet power of a woman who refused to stay small.

A thriller with a shocking twist.
