The request seems odd, even intrusiveâ€”and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating.

EMMA
Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupantâ€”and it does.

JANE
After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the spaceâ€”and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the homeâ€™s previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

Praise for The Girl Before

â€œDazzling, startling, and above all cunningâ€”a pitch-perfect novel of psychological suspense.â€â€”Lee Child

â€œThe Girl Before generates a fast pace. . . . [J. P.] Delaney intersperses ethics questions on stand-alone pages throughout the book. . . . The single most ingenious touch is that weâ€™re not provided either womanâ€™s answers.â€â€”The New York Times

â€œJ. P. Delaney builds the suspense.â€â€”Vanity Fair

â€œImmediate guarantee: You will not be able to put this book down. . . . Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will realize that thereâ€™s not only more where that came from, but itâ€™s also more thrilling.â€â€”American Booksellers Association
