Secrets can pull you under.
From Paula Hawkins, author of the # 1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train, an addictive new novel of psychological suspense about the slipperiness of truth —and one family drowning in secrets.
A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier ¡n the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged.
Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from—a place to which she vowed she'd never return.
With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present.
Beware a calm surface—you never know what lies beneath.
"Nothing is more addicting."
Vanity Fair
"More fun with unreliable narration than any chiller since Gone Girl.
The New York Times
"Pull off a thriller's toughest trick: carefully assembling everything we think we know, until it reveals the one thing we didn't see coming."
