Marion (Leah Rowan)

NORMAN WAS HER FIRST. Marion is in deep. She’s stolen money in a desperate bid to help her sister escape an abusive marriage, but when the bus breaks down late at night, in the middle of nowhere, the only vacancies are in an old set of cabins on the outskirts of town. Norm Billings, the young innkeeper, is handsome, charming and a touch hung-up on his elderly mother. Back in her room, scrubbing off the late-summer heat in the shower, the curtain is pulled back and Norm is there with a knife. But before he can strike, Marion knees him in the balls, grabs the knife, and stabs the life out of him. Now, she’s covered in blood, and she’s a woman on the run—not just a thief, but a killer, too. In Psycho, Hitchcock shocked audiences when he killed off his protagonist. But what if the leading lady had fought back? What if the knife is in her hands—and she’s no victim?
