A buried past returns to the basement

Nora Davis has built an adult life far removed from the crimes that defined her childhood: her father is imprisoned for murdering women, and she works as a surgeon while keeping her family history secret. When a patient is killed in a manner linked to her father’s crimes, that carefully guarded past becomes part of the present investigation. The novel brings together a murder mystery and questions of guilt, inherited identity, and the consequences of secrecy, with the basement serving as a pointed reminder of what Nora has tried to leave behind.

Book overview

A twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Housemaid and The Coworker!

Some doors are locked for a reason...

While eleven-year-old Nora Davis was up in her bedroom doing homework, she had no idea her father was killing women in the basement.

Until the day the police arrived at their front door.

Decades later, Nora's father is spending his life behind bars, and Nora is a successful surgeon with a quiet, solitary existence. Nobody knows about her past, and she'll do anything to keep it that way.

Then one of her young female patients is murdered, killed in the same unique and horrific manner that her father used to kill his victims.

Somebody knows who Nora is. Somebody wants her to take the fall for this unthinkable crime. But she's not like her father. The police can't pin anything on her. As long as they don't look in her basement...

From New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a riveting psychological thriller about guilt, secrets, and whether it's possible to outrun what's in our blood.
