The bestselling author of the The Secretary returns with an unputdownable thriller following a woman in a desperate search for answers after she’s institutionalized against her will.
The year is 1962, and every night Grace lays her head on her pillow at the Texas State Lunatic Hospital, she reminds herself she is not what they say she is. Her children and her husband are not dead...they’re searching for her. Someone knows the truth. Strangely, that someone is hell-bent on making sure the truth stays buried. The question is… why? Meanwhile, Grace has bigger fish to fry, starting with her new roommate. Elizabeth is certifiable, and she has star status—a deadly combination, Grace realizes. The kind of woman who has everyone in the palm of her hand, Elizabeth gives even the most menacing of nurses a run for their money, takes bad intentions to a whole new level, and makes crazy look seductive as hell. Grace learns fast: the best way to deal with lunacy is to befriend it. It may be her only ticket out. She also learns there’s more to her new bunk mate than meets the eye. She’s vile, she’s cunning—and possibly faking it. The question is…why? With riveting twists and a breakneck pace, Fever Dream is a propulsive thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
