      At 18, Evie Jones, the heroine of this spine-tingling thriller from bestseller Dodd (What Doesn’t Kill Her), leaves a juvenile detention facility in California to reunite with her mother and sister in Rockin, Alaska, where Donald White hires her as a bookkeeper. A few days into the job, Donald vanishes, and Evie discovers the bodies of Michele Jameson and her son, Timothy, who sold the house to Donald, in his cellar. Wrongfully convicted of their murders, Evie is sentenced to 99 years in prison, but miraculously escapes after the prison bus she’s riding plummets into a mudslide. After having major reconstructive plastic surgery, Evie assumes a new identify and begins working at a fishing resort, but vows to find Donald and seek revenge. After years of searching online, she finally learns Donald’s back in Rockin. She returns to town, where she must protect her family as she unearths some secrets linked to the Jamesons’ deaths. A high level of suspense compensates for some abrupt transitions, like Evie hopping into bed with Michele’s widower. Dodd knows how to keep the pages turning. Agent: Mel Berger, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.

      Tough-as-nails Evelyn Jones knows exactly what it is like to be an invisible woman. After her former employer, Donald White, frames her for murder, Evie is headed for a lifetime behind bars until something unexpected happens and she is able to flee. Reinventing herself as Petie, the effective yet enigmatic manager of the remotely located Midnight Sun Fishing Camp, she spends the next decade living under the radar. When Evie learns that White has resurfaced in Alaska, she decides that it's time to settle an old score. As far as Evie is concerned, the best thing about being invisible is that your enemy never sees you coming. Dodd (Strangers She Knows, 2019) ingeniously transforms her initially TSTL (Too Stupid to Live) protagonist into a formidable purveyor of vengeance, all while delivering a twist-rich, page-turning plot that is enhanced by a generous serving of deliciously dry wit. As with all her fiendishly clever suspense novels, Dodd's latest should come with a warning label: may cause sleeplessness even after the reader reaches the last page.
