It all started that night in the woods.
Cass Anderson didn’t stop to help the woman in the car, and now that woman is dead.
Ever since, silent calls have been plaguing Cass and she’s sure someone is watching her every move.
It doesn’t help that she’s forgetting everything, too. Where she left the car, if she took her pills, the house alarm code - and whether the knife in the kitchen really had blood on it.
Bestselling author B A Paris is back with a brand new psychological thriller full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
British author Paris follows her bestselling debut, 2016's Behind Closed Doors, with another first-rate psychological thriller. When school teacher Cass Anderson, who lives in the English hamlet of Nook's Corner, leaves a party during a heavy rain, she decides, against her husband's advice, to take a shortcut home on a dangerous lane through dark woods. She's almost through when she sees a car stopped on the road with a woman behind the wheel. She stops, but when the woman doesn't get out, Cass drives away. Later, she learns the woman has been murdered and that she was Jane Walters, a young mother whom Cass recently befriended. Wracked with guilt that she didn't do more, Cass also worries about her sanity. Her mother has early-onset dementia and lately has been forgetting major things, like signing a contract and inviting guests for a barbecue, and Cass worries the same thing could be happening to her. Tension quickly builds to a crescendo as Cass's fears about her mental state and those mysterious phone calls that may be from the killer become palpable. 300,000-copy announced first printing.
