B. A. Paris

'The challenge is to separate dangerous reality from paranoia in this unsettling, pulse-racing tale' Louise Candlish

The multimillion-copy and New York Times bestseller B. A. Paris returns with a triumphant, unsettling new suspense novel. Who is watching Nell Masters? Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she's hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own. Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger's car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . . Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

Det perfekta äktenskapet? Eller den perfekta lögnen? Alla känner ett par som Jack och Grace. Han är snygg och förmögen, hon är charmig och elegant. Han är en hängiven advokat som aldrig har förlorat ett mål, hon sköter hemmet och maten till fulländning och avgudar sin handikappade lillasyster. Fast de är nygifta verkar de ha allt. Man kanske inte vill tycka om dem, men man gör det. Man blir ohjälpligt charmad av deras otvungna, bekväma hem och av deras trevliga middagar. Man skulle vilja lära känna Grace bättre. Men det är svårt, för man upptäcker att hon och Jack är oskiljaktiga. Vissa skulle kalla det för riktig kärlek. Andra undrar kanske varför Grace aldrig svarar i telefon. Eller varför hon aldrig kan komma och ta en kopp kaffe, fast hon inte jobbar. Hur hon kan laga sådan enastående mat och ändå vara så slank. Eller varför hon aldrig verkar ha någonting med sig när hon går ut ur huset, inte ens en penna. Eller varför det sitter skyddande ståljalusier för alla fönster på bottenvåningen. Vissa skulle kanske undra vad som egentligen pågår när middagen är över och ytterdörren har stängts. ___ Det här är en av de bästa och mest skrämmande psykologiska thrillers jag någonsin har läst. - San Francisco Book Review Jag behövde bara en eftermiddag för att läsa ut boken, och i slutet bultade hjärtat hårt.

En isande thriller som man inte kan sluta läsa. - Mary Kubica Ett fängslande familjedrama den känsla av trovärdighet och skräck som genomsyrar hela Behind Closed Doors sviktar aldrig. - The Washington Post B. A. Paris använder klichén om att man inte vet vad som händer bakom stängda dörrar till en mardröm För varje kapitel stegras spänningen, och allt mer står på spel för Grace i det helvete som hennes perfekta äktenskap med Jack har blivit. - Huffington Post Det nygifta paret Grace och Jack Angel verkar leva ett perfekt liv i den engelska författaren Paris debutroman, men skenet kan bedra Graces skräck är smittande, och faran som väntar Millie skapar en tickande klocka som driver denna klaustrofobiska katt-och-råttalek till dess kusliga, tillfredsställande slut. - Publishers Weekly ___ Bästäljande författaren B. A. Paris växte upp i England men har bott i Frankrike i största delen av sitt liv. Behind Closed Doors är hennes debutroman, och den har sålt i över 1 miljon exemplar.
