Publisher's Synopsis
The Setup - A Psychological Thriller
Violet has a death wish, but she refuses to go out just any way-she wants to be murdered. Not for revenge. Not for justice. Just to prove a point.
So she makes herself the perfect victim.
One by one, she lures in the worst of them-predators, killers, men with blood already on their hands-dangling herself as easy prey. She never fights back, never runs, never screams. She just sets them up and lets fate do the rest. By the time they realize the trap, it's too late.
But no matter how perfect her plan... she always survives.
Through the frozen streets of Cincinnati, through back alleys and dark motels, Violet tempts fate again and again. She should be dead a hundred times over, but something keeps pulling her back.
Maybe it's luck.
Maybe it's cruelty.
Or maybe... the setup was never meant to be hers.
And when the final moment comes-when she finally stares death in the face-one question remains:
Will this be the time it finally takes her?
