“Brilliant…. A well-crafted psychological thriller.” —The New York Times Book Review

When former journalist Rain Winter was twelve years old, she narrowly escaped an abduction while walking to a friend’s house. The abductor was eventually found and sent to prison, but years later was released. Then someone delivered real justice--and killed him in cold blood.

Now Rain is living the perfect suburban life, spending her days as a stay-at-home mom. But when another criminal who escaped justice is found dead, Rain is unexpectedly drawn into the case, forced to revisit memories she’s worked hard to leave behind. Is there a vigilante at work? Who is the next target? Why can’t Rain just let it go?

Introducing one of the most compelling and original killers in crime fiction today, Lisa Unger takes readers deep inside the minds of both perpetrator and victim, blurring the lines between right and wrong, crime and justice, and showing that sometimes even good people are drawn to do evil things.

Don't miss The New Couple in 5B, Lisa Unger's newest psychological thriller about a couple that inherits an apartment with a truly chilling past.

    Outstanding book that I greatly enjoyed reading! It described so well how trauma at a young age (or any age) can cause multiple personality disorders and tremendous emotional and psychological damage for an entire lifetime. There are effective and successful treatments available from highly skilled professionals. I thought of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as I was reading this, as well as movies The Three Faces of Eve, and Sybil. Loved the ending.

    I think this is one of my favorite reads in a while! The characters are really well developed and complicated. The storyline is intriguing and strong. I didn’t want it to end, honestly.
