Book Synopsis



"A haunting, razor-sharp mystery." --Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author

This twisty and sinister thriller follows a New York art gallery assistant reckoning with her past as she is trapped in a web of deceit after an up-and-coming painter is murdered--perfect for fans of Katy Hays and Julia Bartz.

November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack two months ago, she has been on a collision course with destruction.

When Chloe finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss's office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended...because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery's newest artist, is dead.

Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy--and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth...the more deadly it becomes.

Atmosphere and heart

This is a knockout of atmosphere and heart! It’s rare to pick up a book that feels this fully formed in every aspect, from pacing to character to atmosphere. This story never dragged, even when everything seemed like it might slow. Instead, this author pivoted just in time, pulling me into new mystery after new mystery. Chloe was deeply flawed and darkly haunted. She carries trauma in such a raw, honest way that I had moments where I didn’t like her. However, every new detail about her past, every crack of vulnerability, softened me and made me begin to fiercely root for her. She was more than just the sum of her scars. The mystery element was definitely my favorite part. I never quite knew what was happening, and that uncertainty fueled my imagination. My theories were all over the place, many wrong, which only added to my investment. The darker mood, the unreliable memories, shadows of 9/11 trauma, all of it intertwined beautifully. The way the 9/11 element was used was subtle but powerful. I felt the weight of what was being referenced, the loss, the trauma, and yes, that scene pulled tears. Overall, this was not just a thriller. It’s a character driven, atmospheric, almost haunting dive into memory, trust, and what we try to forget.

Gripping Suspense

It was suspenseful within the world of art and I was intrigued about the murder that made it a quick read for me. It had some James Bond moments when someone shows up just in time. It's action-packed with a story that is thought-provoking and unforgettable.
