A librarian insinuates herself in her patrons’ lives, in this unsettling new novel of psychological suspense from the acclaimed author of Sins of the Father. Your secret didn’t die with me . . . The mysterious note tucked inside the pages of a recently returned book leaves librarian Morag McLaughlin chilled to the bone. Someone out there knows her darkest secrets, and they could destroy everything. The library is her sanctuary, the only place Morag belongs and feels needed. Torn apart from her own family, she will stop at nothing to create a perfect new one in this place of refuge, doling out small kindnesses to the struggling, vulnerable men and women who pass through its doors. Why are they all so ungrateful? She’s only looking after them . . . Isn’t she?
