Suspense
The #1 internationally bestselling author of The
Demonologist radically reimagines the origins of gothic
literature’s founding masterpieces—Frankenstein, Strange
Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Dracula—in a
contemporary novel driven by relentless suspense and
surprising emotion. This is the story of a man who may be
the world’s one real-life monster, and the only woman who
has a chance of finding him. As a forensic psychiatrist at New York’s leading
institution of its kind, Dr. Lily Dominick has evaluated
the mental states of some of the country’s most dangerous
psychotics. But the strangely compelling client she
interviewed today—a man with no name, accused of the most
twisted crime—struck her as somehow different from the
others, despite the two impossible claims he made. First, that he is more than two hundred years old and
personally inspired Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson,
and Bram Stoker in creating the three novels of the
nineteenth century that define the monstrous in the
modern imagination. Second, that he’s Lily’s father. To
discover the truth—behind her client, her mother’s death,
herself—Dr. Dominick must embark on a journey that will
threaten her career, her sanity, and ultimately her life. Fusing the page-turning tension of a first-rate thriller
with a provocative take on where thrillers come from, The
Only Child will keep you up until its last unforgettable
revelation.
