What makes a psychopath? A young woman delves into her family's
shadowy legacy in a terrifying novel by the #1 Amazon Charts
bestselling author of Strangers We Know.
Psychology student Olivia Eriksen's family is notorious among true-crime
buffs. Faced with a legacy of psychopathy that spans generations, Olivia
has spent much of her academic life trying to answer one chilling
question: Nature or nurture?
Although she's kept a safe distance from her blood relatives for years,
Olivia agrees to attend a weekend reunion. After all, her fiancé is
eager to meet his future in-laws, and the gathering may give her a
chance to interview her elusive grandfather about the family traits.
But nothing is ever peaceful among the Eriksens for long. Olivia's
favorite cousin is found dead in a nearby lake. Then another family
member disappears. As a violent storm isolates the group further,
Olivia's fears rise faster than the river.
And an uninvited guest is about to join the party. True-crime podcaster
Birdie Tan has uncovered a disturbing mystery in her latest
investigation--and she's following it right to the Eriksens' mountain
resort. There's a deadly twist in the family plot that even Olivia
doesn't see coming.
