Disillusions

A woman fleeing an abusive relationship is entangled in a shocking crime in this thriller by the bestselling author of Perfect Angel and President’s Day.

Gwen Amiel had only wanted a job, a haven, a fresh start—and the nanny position seemed to offer exactly that. But inside a wealthy family’s elegant home, a crime is committed that is so shocking—so seemingly random—that a tiny upstate New York town will never be the same.

Gradually, evidence will lead the authorities to the family’s new nanny, a woman whose past is shrouded in mystery . . . and violence. Now, with a police investigation swirling around her and no way to prove her innocence, she turns to the one person who seems to believe her, and the one place she feels safe. But as Gwen struggles to find answers, she’ll discover that nothing is what it seems, that no one can escape from the past, and that trusting the wrong person can destroy your sanity . . . and your life.
