The Night Before - (Pierce Reed/ Nikki Gillette) by Lisa Jackson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Beyond the old-world charm and jasmine-scented air of Savannah, Georgia, there are dark secrets swirling, and one woman finds herself at the heart of a nightmare in this atmospheric suspense thriller from #1 bestselling author Lisa Jackson.

Book 1 in the blockbuster Pierce Reed and Nikki Gillette Series is now in trade paperback for the first time!

The dream is vivid and terrifying. In it, Caitlyn sees her estranged husband's body slumped over his desk, his lifeless eyes unblinking. But the reality Caitlyn wakes to is even worse. She's covered in blood, with no memory of the night before. When the police arrive, they confirm that Josh has been found dead in a suspected homicide.

Being part of one of Savannah's most influential and wealthy families puts Caitlyn at the center of rumors and whispers. Everyone knows her relationship with Josh had disintegrated after a tragic loss, and he was preparing to divorce her, taking as much of her fortune as he could. Even her twin sister, Kelly, seems determined to keep her distance once Caitlyn becomes a prime suspect. With no one else to turn to, Caitlyn consults the town's new psychologist, though she dreads discovering what happens during her increasingly frequent blackouts.

Yet there's more to fear. One by one, those closest to her are dying in grisly ways. And only time will tell whether Caitlyn will turn out to be the next in the killer's sights--or guilty of crimes too terrible to remember . . .
