The Beast in Me

Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis, a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth chasing his demons while fleeing her own in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.

Aggie Wiggs lives a carefully constructed quiet life, writing in solitude until Nile Jarvis moves in next door. He's charming, wealthy, and possibly a murderer. His first wife died under suspicious circumstances, and now he's setting his sights on Aggie's world. She watches him through windows, collects whispers from neighbors, and feels the walls of her sanctuary closing in. The air thickens with menace dressed in expensive taste, and Aggie must decide whether her suspicions are paranoia or survival instinct kicking in just in time.
