Behind Every Face
Not yet published
Expected 25 Aug 26In a gripping, relentlessly suspenseful new thriller from the #1 internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later, a woman in the Witness Protection Program realizes that her new home is far from the small-town safe haven she was promised . . .
Dark secrets, dangerous threats, and jaw-dropping twists for readers of Riley Sager, Jeneva Rose, and Alex Michaelides.
Harmony Falls is a pretty little town in the Pacific Northwest, as bucolic as its name suggests. But Andi Vonn isn’t there by choice. She’s been given a new identity through the Witness Protection Program while she waits to testify against her powerful former employer. Her fiancé, Lucas, was killed before he could do the same, and the explosive case is making national headlines.
Andi has no faith that the FBI will keep her safe. Why should she follow orders from the very people who got Lucas killed? She didn’t even know about her boss’s wrongdoing, yet she’s still facing prison time after the trial. But there’s a key piece of evidence—a flash drive of damning videos—that she can leverage to get immunity, if she can just figure out where Lucas hid it.
The only person who’s as much a target as Andi is Lucas’s brother, celebrated journalist Oliver Whitaker. Holed up in a Maine cabin, he becomes Andi’s long-distance ally as they try and figure out who exactly wants them dead. Meanwhile Andi tries to blend into Harmony Falls without giving herself away, fearing that with every moment, her enemies may be drawing closer.
But then, Harmony Falls may not be quite what it appears to be either. Andi was told that nothing dangerous could find her here. She had no way to know that a nightmare was already lying in wait, ready to silence her forever . . .
Dark secrets, dangerous threats, and jaw-dropping twists for readers of Riley Sager, Jeneva Rose, and Alex Michaelides.
