From the dustjacket liner notes:
Roused by a single drop of blood on the bed sheet, Rosie Daniels wakes up from fourteen years of a nightmare marriage to the chilling realization that one of these days her husband, Norman, is going to kill her. Or worse still, he isn't. Taking her husband's credit card, Rosie suddenly takes flight determined to lose herself in a place where Norman won't find her. She'll worry about the rest later.
Alone in a strange city, Rosie slowly begins to build a new life, gaining confidence with each step. Good things start to happen: meeting Bill Steiner is one; and finding an odd junk shop painting is another. It may be bad art but it's perfect for her new apartment – and somehow, it seems to want her as much as she wants it.
Still, it’s hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason. Her husband is a cop, with the instincts of a predator. He’s very good at finding people. The fact that he’s losing his mind might even be an advantage.
Rose-maddened and on the rampage, Norman Daniels becomes a force of relentless terror and savageness, a man almost mythic in his monstrosity. For Rosie to survive, for her to have a chance in her brave new world, she must enter her own myth – a world that lies beyond the surface of a work of art – and become a woman she never knew she could be: Rose Madder.
