The Night Nanny

The newest, twisty thriller from the internationally no.1 bestselling author, Sarah Pekkanen.

Ambitious American Emily Hershey fought off fierce competition – and made dangerous enemies – to graduate from Briarly Academy, an elite English school where nannies master high-society etiquette, defensive driving, and even martial arts. Her reward? A dream placement serving an extraordinarily wealthy, intensely private family on Manhattan’s Billionaire’s Row.

But inside the family’s high-rise penthouse, the placement becomes a waking nightmare. As Emily watches over her young charge, the child’s terrifying night terrors feel less like bad dreams, and more like warnings. The staff guard lethal secrets, the parents' stories don't add up, and danger lurks in every shadow.

Using her specialised training to dig deeper, Emily questions whether she was hired simply to protect the boy, or brought into the penthouse for a far more sinister reason. And by the time she uncovers the truth, escaping with her life – and his – may be impossible.

Blending the irresistible, behind-the-scenes world of an elite nanny academy with relentless psychological suspense, The Night Nanny is a propulsive, high-stakes thriller that will keep readers riveted until the final, shocking reveal.
