The Quiet Tenant

Widower Aidan Thomas. He is considered the perfect father and neighbor. He is charming, responsive, and caring. Only Rachel knows his dark side. Aidan is a maniac; he killed eight women and is about to finish the ninth… with her. She lived in a shed in the backyard for five years, handcuffed to the bed. No one – not even the maniac's wife and daughter – suspected her existence. After his wife's death, Aidan moved to another place, taking Rachel with him. In the new house, he put her in the guest room, where he again chained her to the bed. But now she can have breakfast and dinner with him and his thirteen-year-old daughter Cecilia. She thinks of Rachel as a tenant going through tough times. Oh, how true that is… Gradually, between the captive and Cecilia – the withdrawn teenager – sympathy, almost friendship, develops. Rachel understands: if she gets a chance to escape, she will not leave the girl behind. But then Aidan meets Emily, a young bar worker. At any moment, this girl could become his next victim. And Rachel awaits a sad fate…
