“Doering’s wordsmithing is the absolute gold standard and leads readers to a stunner of an ending.”
New York Journal of Books
A compulsive debut thriller about motherhood, obsession, and how far we'd go to protect the ones we love
Five-year-old Ava Boone vanished without a trace six months ago. No witnesses, no sightings or arrests. But Grace Wright just moved in next door to the only suspect the case had: quiet, middle-aged Leland Ernest.
Recently divorced, Grace uprooted her two small children to start again and hopes the move will reset her crippling insomnia. With whispered neighborhood gossip and increasingly sleepless nights, Grace develops a fierce obsession with Leland and the safety of her children. Could she really be living next door to a child-kidnapper? A murderer?
With reality and dream blurring more each day, Grace desperately pursues the truth-following Ava's family, demanding answers from the police-and then a body is discovered.
