Samson Segal, an unemployed 30-something, has taken to spying on his neighbours, particularly beautiful Gillian Ward. When Gillian's daughter comes home to an empty, locked house, Samson takes her in but finds himself venting his anger in his diary when his actions go unappreciated, unaware that his sister-in-law cracked his password long ago. When Gillian's husband is then murdered in his own home, Samson comes under intense scrutiny but the only man making any progress in the case shouldn't be working on it. Yet he's the only one who believes Samson is innocent.

About the Author:
Charlotte Link is one of Europe's bestselling crime writers and has sold more than 16 million novels in Germany alone. Her atmospheric brand of psychological suspense made THE OTHER CHILD a massive No.1 bestseller in Germany and was greeted by rave reviews. Charlotte has been nominated for the Fiction Category of the GERMAN BOOK PRIZE and her work has been widely adpated for TV, most recently THE OTHER CHILD.
From Booklist:
Who would want to kill Carla Roberts, a quiet, retired divorcée with few friends and presumably no enemies? And what could Carla possibly have in common with middle-aged wife and mother Gillian Ward? If there were a connection, surely Samson Segal would know about it. An unemployed 30-year-old living with his brother and sister-in-law, Samson is enamored of the Ward’s close-knit family and spends a large part of his day watching Gillian. When Gillian’s husband is murdered, Samson is a prime suspect. He’s protected by an unlikely source—Gillian’s lover, who is her daughter’s tennis coach and a former police officer dismissed for sexual misconduct. In Link’s skilled hands, seemingly disparate story lines come together in a nail-biting climax. This is the second novel (following The Other Child, 2013) by a best-selling author in her native Germany to be released in the U.S. Fans of Tana French’s twisty crime novels will devour this suspenseful read. --Karen Keefe
