The New York Times bestselling author of The
Monogram Murders—in the ranks of Ruth Rendell, Deborah
Crombie, Kimberly McCreight, and Tana French—makes her
William Morrow debut with a dark and chilling psychological
thriller in which a woman desperate to hide a devastating
secret in her past is drawn into a murder
investigation.
Traffic on Elmhirst Road has come to a
halt. The police are stopping cars, searching for something.
Nicki Clements waits patiently, until she glimpses a face
she hoped she’d never see again. It’s him—and he’s the cop
checking each car. Desperate to avoid him, she makes a
panicky U-turn and escapes.
But Nicki’s peculiar
behavior did not go unnoticed, and now the police have
summoned her for questioning. A resident of Elmhirst Road
has been murdered—a controversial newspaper columnist named
Damon Blundy. The detectives begin peppering her with
questions. Why was she seen fleeing the scene? What is her
connection to the victim? Why was the knife that killed him
used in such a peculiar way? Why were the words “HE IS NO
LESS DEAD” painted on the wall of Blundy’s study—and what do
they signify?
One simple answer could clear her. But
she can’t explain why she fled Elmhirst Road that day
without revealing the secret that could ruin
her.
Nicki isn’t guilty of murder. But she’s far from
innocent. . . .
