Maureen Smith thought she had it all: a thriving business, a strong faith, a happy marriage, and the kind of love people dream about. But when cancer stole her husband away, her world shattered. Alone, grieving, and vulnerable, she found herself lured into a decade-long relationship with a charming man who seemed like salvation—until his mask slipped. On to the Next Victim is a raw, unflinching memoir about grief, trust, manipulation, and survival.
