Thriller | Thriller Terrorism
A woman must confront her sense of right and wrong when the one person she loves most is accused of an unimaginable crime. From the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know. . . . A strange sensation runs through me, a feeling that I donβt know this person in front of me, even though he matters more to me than anyone ever has. Stephanie Maddox works her dream job policing power and exposing corruption within the FBI. Getting here has taken her nearly two decades of hard work, laser-focus, and personal sacrificesβthe most important, she fears, being a close relationship with her teenage son, Zachary. A single parent, Stephβs missed a lot of school events, birthdays, and vacations with her boyβbut the truth is, she would move heaven and earth for him, including protecting him from an explosive secret in her past. It just never occurred to her that Zachary would keep secrets of his own. One day while straightening her sonβs room, Steph is shaken to discover a gun hidden in his closet. A loaded gun. Then comes a knock at her front doorβa colleague on the domestic terrorism squad, who utters three devastating words: βItβs about Zachary.β So begins a compulsively readable thriller of deception and betrayal, as Stephanie fights to clear her sonβs name, only to expose a shadowy conspiracy that threatens to destroy them bothβand bring a country to its knees. Packed with shocking twists and intense family drama, Keep You Close is an electrifying exploration of the shattering consequences of the love that bindsβand sometimes blindsβa mother and her child.
