An instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"If Rear Window and Get Out got married and had a baby that was a
book, it would indeed be When No One Is Watching, which takes place in
contemporary Brooklyn and combines a page-turning thriller with shrewd
social commentary on race, gentrification and greed."
-- Seattle Times
Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood
seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds,
FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she's known
all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community's past and
present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds
an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the
block--her neighbor Theo.
But Sydney and Theo's deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying
descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to
the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be
more deadly than advertised.
When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when
gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other--or
themselves--long enough to find out before they too disappear?
