Nine-year-old Nell tells her mother what she saw from her bedroom window on the night the neighbor disappeared. Her father was two hundred and forty miles away, with a hotel receipt to prove it. And her mother cannot account for four hours of that night.

Erin Vance is a pediatric nurse in Hallow Bay, Michigan, a town of four thousand people on the Lake Michigan shore where everybody knows and nobody says. She is good at bodies. She can read a wrist and a pupil and a breathing rate, and she has never once been wrong about a patient.

She cannot read her own.

Camille Ross was twenty-nine and worked for the Vance family and stopped existing on a Friday night in October. Nobody in that house will say her name at the table. Erin has been sleeping through her own life for five months and waking up tired, and there are seventeen days between what her daughter saw and what her daughter finally says out loud.

A gripping psychological thriller and slow-burn domestic suspense novel about a family that has agreed on a version, a small town that has agreed to let them, and a child who wrote down the date.

Perfect for readers of quiet, character-driven suspense, unreliable memory, family secrets, and mystery novels with an ending you will not see coming.

Hallow Bay, Book One. Standalone thrillers set in one town on the Lake Michigan shore. Books One to Four can be read in any order.
