A brilliantly conceived, deeply unsettling psychological thriller-- already an international sensation--about a woman haunted by secrets, the consuming desire for revenge, and the terrible price we pay when we try to hide the truth.

Finding a mysterious novel at her bedside plunges documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft into a living nightmare. Though ostensibly fiction, The Perfect Stranger recreates in vivid, unmistakable detail the terrible day she became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew--and that person is dead.

Now that the past is catching up with her, Catherine's world is falling apart. Her only hope is to confront what really happened on that awful day . . . even if the shocking truth might destroy her.

Review:

"Sensationally good psychological suspense...exactly what a great thriller should be."--Lee Child

"Let me now acknowledge having done what thriller writers love doing: burying the lead. It's Disclaimer that turns out to be the Gone Girl of the season."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"With pitch-perfect pacing and alternating narrators that leap off the page, Disclaimer is both a page-turning mystery and an artful exploration of the explosive intersection between marriage and motherhood, revenge and regret. A wonderfully compelling book."--Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia

"Knight's elegant plot and compelling...characters keep the heart of the novel beating.... Atmospheric and twisting...a page-turner. An addictive psychological thriller."--Kirkus Reviews

"A terrific novel with a brilliantly creepy central premise. One of the best debut thrillers I have ever read."--Paula Daly, author of What Kind of Mother Are You?

"Unsettling.... The ending delivers more than one emotional wallop. Readers' feelings about each character will likely be upended as they're reminded that sometimes people commit atrocious acts out of love, and those who behave abhorrently can also be honorable."--Shelf Awareness (starred)

"Knight has twisted a story of decaying love, and built a psychological suspense tale that raises the hair on the back of your neck.... If psychological suspense is what interests you, look no further."--BlogCritics.com

"Disclaimer is something special. . . an outstandingly clever and twisty tale that's been perfectly engineered to make heads spin."--Janet Maslin, New York Times

"The marvel of...Disclaimer is that it just about lives up to its unusually gripping premise...[and] forms a trinity alongside Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train as the best of domestic noir."--New York Daily News

"Disclaimer stealthily steals your attention and by the end holds you prisoner--a searing story that resonates long after the final page. The best thriller I've read this year."--Rosamund Lupton, New York Times bestselling author of Sister and Afterwards
