Clarissa, a celebrated author, moves into a gleaming Parisian apartment that's supposed to be her creative sanctuary—except she can't shake the feeling that someone is watching her every move. As a devastating betrayal by her husband threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life, she finds herself questioning what's real: the paranoia creeping in, the mysterious high-tech building she calls home, or the changed city outside her window that feels like it's hiding secrets of its own. When her beloved granddaughter joins her investigation into the building's mysteries, Clarissa is pulled back into contact with her first husband, a man who still knows her better than anyone and shares the grief she's never fully released. This is a gorgeously atmospheric thriller about the weight of secrets, the ghosts that haunt us, and what we're willing to risk to uncover the truth.
