A psychological novel about obsession from the New York Times bestselling author of Before you Know Kindness.
Based on a true story. Laurel works at a homeless shelter, where she meets a man named Bobbie Crocker. Only recently homeless, he has a history of mental illness and a box of photographs he won't let anyone see. When he dies suddenly, Laurel opens the box to discover that he was once a successful photographer for the rich and famous. As Laurel searches deeper into Bobbie's former life she finds that the photographs expose a deeply hidden family secret.
Susan Salter Reynolds - Los Angeles Times
Artfully crafted, terrifying. . .Bohjalian has written a literary thriller. . .Laurel is an unforgettable, vulnerable, complicated character, as is Crocker. . .The pictures blur the line between reality and fiction, as photos so often do, making reality seem an even more precarious and dizzying height from which to read a work of fiction.
