Thriller | Mystery Psychological
From the acclaimed author of The Evening Spider and
The Broken Teaglass comes this psychological
thriller about the murder of a psychologist in a quiet New
England town and his former patient whose unreliable thread
will keep readers guessing until the shocking
end. I hear myself whispering. Not again. Not
again. Why did I ever come back here? Surely
because of you. Because I thought of something I’d always
meant to tell you. Because you were the only one I ever
really wanted to tell it to… Therapist Dr. Mark
Fabian is dead—bludgeoned in his office. But that
doesn’t stop former patient Nadine Raines from talking to
him—in her head. Why did she come back to her hometown after
so many years away? Everyone here thinks she’s crazy. And
she has to admit—they might have good reason to think so.
She committed a shockingly violent act when she was sixteen,
and has never really been able to explain that dark
impulse—even to Fabian. Now that Fabian’s dead, why is she
still trying? Meanwhile, as Detective Henry Peacher
investigates Fabian’s death, he discovers that shortly
before he died, Fabian pulled the files of two former
patients. One was of Nadine Raines, one of Henry’s former
high school classmates. Henry still remembers the disturbing
attack on a teacher that marked Nadine as a deeply troubled
teen. More shockingly, the other file was of Johnny
Streeter, who is now serving a life sentence for a mass
shooting five years ago. The shooting devastated the town
and everyone—including Henry, who is uncomfortable with the
“hero” status the tragedy afforded him—is ready to move on.
But the appearance of his file brings up new questions.
Maybe there is a decades-old connection between Nadine and
Streeter. And maybe that somehow explains what Nadine is
doing in Fabian’s office nearly twenty years after being his
patient. Or how Fabian ended up dead two days after her
return. Or why Nadine has fled town once again. But as
Nadine and Henry head toward a confrontation, both will
discover that the secrets of people’s hearts are rarely
simple, and—even in the hidden depths of a psychologist’s
files—rarely as they appear.
