What is the plot of Disclaimer?

She has no idea who might have sent her The Perfect Stranger – or how it ended up on her nightstand. At first, she is intrigued by the suspenseful story that unfolds. And then she realises this isn’t fiction.
“The Perfect Stranger re-creates in vivid, unmistakable detail the day Catherine became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew -and that person is dead.
“Now that the past Catherine so desperately wants to forget is catching up with her, her world is falling apart. Plunged into a living nightmare, her only hope is to confront what really happened on that awful day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her.”
