The #1 New York Times-bestselling author's terrifying new thriller about one man's ice-cold malice, and one woman's fight to reclaim her life.
Former
Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly
neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make
the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after
she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the
flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully
built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and
jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor.
Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in.
"Luke" is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a
particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then
commits his ultimate goal: murder.
What the FBI tells Morgan is
beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the
wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just
beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in
Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another
man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family
business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting
new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.
