When an intriguing novel appears on Catherine’s bedside table, she curls up and begins to read.

This story will reveal her darkest secret.

A secret she thought no one else knew…

“Sensationally good psychological suspense. . . . exactly what a great thriller should be.”—Lee Child

What if you realized the terrifying book you were reading was all about you?

When a mysterious novel appears at Catherine Ravenscroft’s bedside, she is curious. She has no idea who might have sent her The Perfect Stranger—or how it ended up on her nightstand. At first, she is intrigued by the suspenseful story that unfolds.

And then she realizes.

This isn’t fiction.

The Perfect Stranger re-creates in vivid, unmistakable detail the day Catherine became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew—and that person is dead.

Now that the past Catherine so desperately wants to forget is catching up with her, her world is falling apart. Plunged into a living nightmare, her only hope is to confront what really happened on that terrible day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her.
