by S.F. Kosa
To find his wife, Alex must face what Layla has forgotten. And the consequences are anything but quiet.
Good girls keep quiet. Quiet girls won't stay silent forever.
When Alex arrives in Provincetown to patch things up with his new wife, he finds an empty wine glass in the sink, her wedding ring on the desk, and a string of questions in her wake. The police believe that Alex's wife simply left, his marriage crumbling before it truly began. But what Alex finds in their empty cottage points him toward a different reality:
His wife has always carried a secret. And now she's disappeared.
In his hunt for the truth, Alex comes across Layla, a young woman with information to share, who may hold the key to everything his wife has kept hidden. A girl without a clear recollection of her own past. A strange, quiet girl whose memories may break them all.
"[A] stunning psychological suspense debut...Hitchcock fans won't want to miss this nuanced, multilayered novel." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The pseudonymous Kosa puts her real-world experience as a clinical psychologist to work exploring trauma...while deftly weaving together two seemingly unrelated narratives...The story takes a bit of time to find its footing...However, once it picks up the pace, readers, especially those that appreciate less-than-tidy resolutions, will be hooked. A twisty and poignant debut." - Kirkus Reviews
