USA Today bestselling novel.

Fast-paced, chilling, and full of twists, Smoke & Mirrors is a gripping mystery that will keep you turning pages late into the night...

She thought the scream was a nightmare. She was wrong...

Grace Ashby jolts awake to the sound of a piercing cry, one that shatters the silence of the night. Rushing down the hallway, she finds her mother lying lifeless in a pool of blood -- and her mother's boyfriend, Hugh, crouched over the body.
At first glance, the answer seems clear. But not everything is as it appears.

As the investigation begins, troubling questions emerge. Who was Caroline Ashby when no one was looking? And what secrets was she hiding?

Enter Private Investigator Sloane Monroe, called in to uncover the truth buried beneath layers of lies, betrayal, and a life Grace never fully understood. And with the killer still out there, watching and waiting, Sloane must protect Caroline's family before one of them is picked off next.

Perfect for fans of Alex Michaelides, Maxine Paetro, and Tess Gerritsen.
