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 donโt 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 sacrificesโthe most important, she fears, being a close relationship with her teenage son, Zachary. A single parent, Stephโs missed a lot of school events, birthdays, and vacations with her boyโbut 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 sonโs room, Steph is shaken to discover a gun hidden in his closet. A loaded gun. Then comes a knock at her front doorโa colleague on the domestic terrorism squad, who utters three devastating words: โItโs about Zachary.โ So begins a compulsively readable thriller of deception and betrayal, as Stephanie fights to clear her sonโs name, only to expose a shadowy conspiracy that threatens to destroy them bothโand 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 bindsโand sometimes blindsโa mother and her child.
