Under My Skin
ByPublisher Description
“Grief leads to self-destructive behavior in this searing psychological thriller” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
What if the nightmares are actually memories?
It’s been a year since Poppy’s husband, Jack, was brutally murdered during his morning run through Manhattan’s Riverside Park. In the immediate aftermath, Poppy spiraled into an oblivion of grief, disappearing for several days only to turn up ragged and confused wearing a tight red dress she didn’t recognize. What happened to Poppy during those lost days? And more importantly, what happened to Jack?
The case was never solved, and Poppy has finally begun to move on. But those lost days have never stopped haunting her. Poppy starts having nightmares and blackouts—there are periods of time she can’t remember, and she’s unable to tell the difference between what is real and what she’s imagining. When she begins to sense that someone is following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her husband’s death. But can she handle the truth about what really happened?
“[A] captivating thriller.” —The Washington Post
“Addictive. . . . Gripping suspense at its best.” —Karin Slaughter, #1 International and New York Times–bestselling author of The Good Daughter
“A twisting labyrinth of a book. . . . Lisa Unger is . . . at the top of her game.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Look For Me
“Unger . . . keeps the twists coming in this standout thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Another fine psychological thriller from a master of the genre.” —Booklist, starred review
