"Jaw-dropping. This will keep readers up all night." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review From the #1 internationally bestselling author of What Happened to Nina? comes a gripping high-stakes novel of suspense about three seemingly unconnected people, caught in a lethal web of deceit and unhealed wounds. Someone’s watching. Someone’s waiting. Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault. By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found. Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different doors: a respected psychologist's home, a socialite's mansion, and a struggling single father's run-down apartment. Inside, each gift is perfectly tailored to its recipient — and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim. Detective Sergeant Judith Lee is smart and experienced, but this is no ordinary case. Someone with intimate knowledge of their targets is orchestrating these attacks. Someone who knows exactly how to hurt each victim where they're most vulnerable. As she races to uncover the connection between three unrelated people, Judith discovers she's no longer just investigating the game—she's being forced to play.

Newman, #1 bestselling author " What Happened to Nina is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. It is an unforgettable and deeply moving read that takes the concept of how far would you go for your child and turns the volume up so high the dial breaks.

You will tell your friends about What Happened to Nina . You will tell everybody about What Happened To Nina ." - Don Winslow, #1 Internationally bestselling author of The Cartel and City on Fire " What Happened To Nina is a stunning masterpiece. Haunting, emotional, fiercely intelligent and absolutely diabolical. I was amazed as a reader and in awe as a writer. I read the book in one long sitting, late into the night, and I kept all the lights on because I was so scared about what was going to happen every time I turned the page. I never felt like I was reading a novel. I felt like I was living inside this story and it was all really happening. It's a thriller that reads like a true crime novel." - T.J. Newman, #1 bestselling author of Falling and Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421 “Her best yet. Completely riveting ... I had at least three gasp-out-loud moments. And that ending! Everyone's going to be talking about that ending.” - Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law and Darling Girls on What Happened to Nina? “ What Happened to Nina? is a propulsive and satisfying mystery that tackles head-on themes of wealth, power, domestic violence, and the stories we tell ourselves to justify our worst actions. This is Dervla McTiernan at her finest.” - Tracey Lien, internationally bestselling author of All That’s Left Unsaid “McTiernan turns the traditional thriller on its head by exploring the why and the what over the who … It’s a meditation on grief, and helplessness, and what it means to parent a child who might not live the life you thought they would—or might not be the person you want them to be—and how death removes from each of us the illusion of choice or control over past, present, or future. And that is truly haunting.” - Kirkus on What Happened to Nina? (starred review) “Almost painfully gripping.... Despite its title, the central question posed by this disturbing, enthralling book is less concerned with what happened to Nina (you’ll find out soon enough), but how the parents — all broken, terrified and desperate in their own ways — respond to the exigencies of the moment. The last scene will make your blood run cold.” - New York Times Book Review on What Happened to Nina? "A smart and unpredictable
