Publisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant comes the spellbinding tale of a party gone horribly wrong: two men lie dead in a suburban living room, two women are on the run from police, and a marriage is ripping apart at the seams.
When Kristin Chapman agrees to let her husband, Richard, host his brother's bachelor party, she expects a certain amount of debauchery. She takes their young daughter to Manhattan for the evening, leaving her Westchester home to the men and their hired entertainment. What she does not expect is that the entertainment—two scared young women brought there by force—will kill their captors and drive off into the night.
With their house now a crime scene, Kristin's and Richard’s life spirals into nightmare. Kristin is unable to forgive her husband for his lapses in judgement, or for the moment he shared with a dark-haired girl in the guest room. But for the dark-haired girl, Alexandra, the danger is just beginning.
Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When investment banker Richard offers to host his brother-in-law's bachelor party in his suburban home, he doesn't expect the night to end in tragedy. It turns out that the strippers he hires are victims of human trafficking, pulling their host and his guests into a dark, harrowing world. Best-selling author Chris Bohjalian demonstrates his penchant for tackling tough subjects with candor and nuance; he narrates the story from the dual perspectives of Richard and Alexandra, an Armenian sex slave. The Guest Room is as suspenseful as any thriller but daring enough to tackle a weighty and timely topic.
