About the Book<\/h2>\n

Some marriages are better left unseen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She drove a thousand miles to disappear.
\nA cash envelope. A 9mm she never lets out of reach.<\/p>\n

The bartender at the Overlook doesn\u2019t ask questions. The apartment above the tavern feels like the first safe place she has had in years.<\/p>\n

She is wrong.<\/p>\n

He knows things she has not told him. A door stays locked. A fourth key sits on his ring \u2014 the one she never asked about.<\/p>\n

After the crash they call it an accident.<\/p>\n

She does not.<\/p>\n

Every reason to walk away lines up.
\nThe marriage. The yes she meant.
\nNot knowing has become more dangerous than knowing.<\/p>\n

She should have walked away.
\nShe put the key in the lock.<\/p>\n

A paranoid domestic thriller for readers who liked the locked-room marriage tension of *The Silent Patient* and the small-town dread of Lisa Gardner. Fast, jagged, and built to be finished in one night.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
