A family secret under pressure

During a European family vacation in Italy, Frannie calls her brother and sister for help after hitting a man with her car. The siblings bury the body and agree to keep the incident secret, but police questions put that pact—and their trust in one another—under strain. The central tension rests on two linked uncertainties: what happened that night, and whether the siblings can hold together as their accounts begin to unravel. Gillian McAllister’s thriller uses a concealed death to frame a story about sibling bonds, shared responsibility, and the lengths family members may go to protect one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in suspense built around a family’s shared secret.
  • For readers who enjoy thrillers centered on sibling relationships and shifting trust.
  • For readers drawn to stories involving a cover-up and police scrutiny.

"McAllister is the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations." -- Emily Henry

From the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes an electrifying thriller about three siblings torn apart by the cover-up of a death while on a family vacation in Italy.

On vacation in Europe, Frannie makes two urgent phone calls. One to her sister, and one to her brother. The siblings come running, and they find their sister covered in blood, kneeling over an unmoving body.

There's been an accident: Frannie has hit a man with her car, and she needs their help. They bury the body, and they make a promise. They'll never tell anyone.

But when the police come calling, the siblings' lies start to spiral. They begin to doubt their trust in each other. Because what really happened that night?

And who will be the first to crack?

With the incredible twists and turns and a unique look at family relationships that McAllister has become known for, That Night is the ultimate summer thriller that asks: what would you do to protect your family?
