Growing up, Kate Priddy was always a bit neurotic,
experiencing momentary bouts of anxiety that exploded into
full blown panic attacks after an ex-boyfriend kidnapped
her and nearly ended her life. When Corbin Dell, a distant
cousin in Boston, suggests the two temporarily swap
apartments, Kate, an art student in London, agrees, hoping
that time away in a new place will help her overcome the
recent wreckage of her life.
But soon after her arrival at Corbin’s grand apartment on
Beacon Hill, Kate makes a shocking discovery: his next-door
neighbor, a young woman named Audrey Marshall, has been
murdered. When the police question her about Corbin, a
shaken Kate has few answers, and many questions of her own—
curiosity that intensifies when she meets Alan Cherney, a
handsome, quiet tenant who lives across the courtyard, in
the apartment facing Audrey’s. Alan saw Corbin
surreptitiously come and go from Audrey’s place, yet he’s
denied knowing her. Then, Kate runs into a tearful man
claiming to be the dead woman’s old boyfriend, who insists
Corbin did the deed the night that he left for London.
When she reaches out to her cousin, he proclaims his
innocence and calms her nerves . . . until she comes across
disturbing objects hidden in the apartment—and accidently
learns that Corbin is not where he says he is. Could Corbin
be a killer? And what about Alan? Kate finds herself drawn
to this appealing man who seems so sincere, yet she isn’t
sure. Jetlagged and emotionally unstable, her imagination
full of dark images caused by the terror of her past, Kate
can barely trust herself . . . So how could she take the
chance on a stranger she’s just met?
Yet the danger Kate imagines isn’t nearly as twisted and
deadly as what’s about to happen. When her every fear
becomes very real.
