A vanished experiment, revisited decades later

A 1960s university parapsychology program and a present-day caretaker job form the two strands of this domestic thriller. Four young women disappeared as experiments approached a breakthrough, and the program was later erased from history. Decades on, Riley Bell’s work in the isolated home of elderly widow Betty brings her into contact with questions about the women and Betty’s long seclusion. The paranormal premise places uncertainty around extrasensory perception alongside a search for historical answers, while the dual timeline links the original experiments to Riley’s investigation.

  • Suitable for adult readers interested in domestic thrillers with paranormal elements.

Book overview

"

This large print edition features an easy-to-read larger type size while preserving the complete text of the original edition.

The newest next thriller from #1 Bestselling Author Sarah Pekkanen combines a decades-old mystery with spine-tingling paranormal elements in this twisty novel of the seen and unseen.




Extrasensory perception.



The Gift.



A Sixth Sense.



Or something else....




In 1964, four remarkable young women at a prestigious university became the subjects of parapsychology experiments by a visionary scientist. On the cusp of a historic breakthrough, the women mysteriously vanished and the program was erased from history.




Decades later, Riley Bell, newly divorced and desperate for a fresh start, accepts a caretaker job for an elderly widow named Betty. Riley steps into a home that is frozen in another era - no microwave, television, or cell phones, and Betty has never heard of the internet.




Why has Betty lived in such profound isolation for so many years, and why does she need Riley now? As the story unfolds across two timelines - Betty's 1960s era of 5 o'clock martinis and high-stakes experiments, and Riley's quest to uncover the truth about the missing women - old secrets rise to the surface. And the only way to survive is to confront the mystery that has lingered for sixty years.
