The instant #1 New York Times bestseller "An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

The brilliant executive who always has the brightest ideas; the exciting companion who is so sexy and loving; the charismatic politician who is so sincere and inspiring. Are they too good to be true?

In fact, many of these supercharmers are false, says Martha Stout in this award-winning book--stealing the ideas of others, embezzling money, pretending to be in love, and acting as if they care for the whole world while really caring only for themselves. That's because 1 in 25 may actually be a sociopath.

What are sociopaths? How can you protect yourself from them? And how come America seems to have so many of them?

Sociopaths (people with "antisocial personality disorder") can be recognized by a group of symptoms, including a surface charm that makes them seem more exciting, spontaneous, and sexy than other people. That's why sociopaths attract friends and followers so easily. But underneath, they're unable to feel real empathy for any other living being. They have a hole inside them where a sense of shame or guilt should be.

A gifted writer, Stout draws compelling portraits of sociopathic characters, such as Skip, the rich, brilliant boy whose favorite pastime is killing frogs; Doreen, who uses her looks and skill at lying to manipulate and deceive colleagues at work; and Luke, whose vocation is lounging by the pool, sponging off women, and ignoring his own son.

Then Stout offers the "13 rules" for defending yourself against sociopaths, such as the "rule of threes." There may be good reasons for people to break one or even two promises, but if they break three, they're habitual liars and you should never give them "your money, your work, your secrets, or your affection."

But there is a brighter side to the picture. Stout demonstrates that despite having signs of material success, sociopaths lead empty, meaningless lives, devoid of joy, hope or happiness. Ultimately, living with love is better.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family

"A Stranger in the House will have you sleeping with the lights on for weeks."  --Bustle

"Smart and suspenseful. . . you'll never see the ending coming." --PureWow

In this neighborhood, danger lies close to home.


Karen and Tom Krupp are happy--they've got a lovely home in upstate New York, they're practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished--her car's gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse--complete with phone and ID--behind.

There's a knock on the door--the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.

The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes.  Still, she's mostly okay--except that she can't remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good. 

Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something's been moved. Something's not quite right. Someone's been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.

Because in this house, everyone's a stranger. Everyone has something they'd rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something.

"Irresistible and compulsive, this book is packed full of surprises."
--Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

The Williams women don't just keep secrets...

They bury them.

The three Williams girls are as close as sisters can be, and they also share one special trait in common: each of them have a man in their lives that they could do without.

Tara, the pastor's wife, has been stealing money from the church and would prefer that her husband stay out of it. Then there's June, who would do anything to have a baby of her own, even if her husband is dead set against it. Clementine, the youngest, is entangled in an affair with her professor, a man whose behavior she's starting to seriously question. Their sister-in-law Stephanie, an outsider, knows all the family dirt and is watching the three of them--and the men in their lives--closely.

When the woman who raised them, their beloved Gran, dies on the eve of her eightieth birthday, the Williams sisters return home to the Appalachian foothills to bury her. But their grandmother won't be the only one they'll put in a grave this weekend...because now someone has gone missing in the dark Appalachian woods.

And if Gran has taught them anything, it's how to get rid of a good-for-nothin' man.
