The Girl in the Fire

TWO GIRLS. TEN YEARS. ONE CRIME. An absolutely gripping psychological thriller from the author of It Was Always You, Isolation, and The Good Life, The Girl in the Fire will keep you turning pages until the final twist!

A teenage girl dies in a house fire. Ten years later, a bride disappears days before her wedding. Solve one case and you solve them both—unless you die trying first.

Grace Dupree disappears on the eve of her wedding in New York City, leaving only one clue for her fiancé, Damien: A decade-old newspaper clipping of an Ohio house fire that killed 17-year-old Leanne Crosby. Damien looks at the school photo in the clipping and knows instantly Leanne and Grace are the same person. Realizing his life with Grace was based on a series of lies, Damien travels to Ohio to uncover the truth. Told through the alternating viewpoints and timelines of Damien and Leanne, readers also see the events that led up to Leanne's original disappearance. Undercurrents of emotional and physical violence pulse in Leanne's daily life, and her only sanctuary is her best friend, Tasha. As Damien pieces together clues, the dark secrets in Grace’s past are uncovered. The closer Damien gets to finding Grace, and Leanne comes to the night of the fire itself, the more deadly their intertwining stories become. Will Damien find Grace before another person dies for her? Or will he be the next victim?
