A Flicker in the Dark

She believed the nightmare had ended, but reality proved her wrong. Karen Slaughter praises this gripping narrative, calling it a "smart, edge-of-your-seat story with plot twists you'll never see coming," while the Daily Mail describes it as "spectacular." Val McDermid warns, "Tense, twisty and threatening, A Flicker in the Dark will make you abandon your box sets." This novel, an instant New York Times bestseller, is being adapted into a major TV series with Emma Stone at the helm.

Chloe Davis carries the lasting impact of her father's sinister legacy. Convicted as a serial killer when she was just twelve, his heinous acts shattered their family and turned their lives upside down. The bodies of his victims, seemingly lost in Louisiana's dense swamps, were never recovered. Despite the past, Chloe has strived to build a new life as a respected psychologist in Baton Rouge, where she enjoys a stable life with her fiancé. Yet, a constant underlying paranoia persists, a fear that everything she holds dear could unravel at any moment.

As the anniversary of her father's crimes approaches, Chloe's deepest fears begin to materialize. A young girl she knows mysteriously disappears, foreshadowing the resurgence of the nightmare she hoped had ended long ago.
