Following her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Laura Lippman returns with a gripping tale of psychological suspense. Novelist Gerry Andersen, injured in a freak accident, finds himself confined to a hospital bed in his sterile apartment, reliant on two women he barely knows: a young assistant and a night nurse whose skills he doubts. As Gerry drifts between dreamlike memories and the unsettling presence of a persistent ex-girlfriend, he fears he may be losing his grip on reality, echoing his late mother's struggle with dementia. Compounding his distress, he receives mysterious phone calls from a woman claiming to be the titular character of his hit novel, Dream Girl, insisting she will visit him soon. Gerry insists the character is fictitious, but no one believes him. Is he the target of a cruel prank, or is he truly losing his mind? With no record of the calls on his phone log, he wonders if he has wronged someone or if danger lurks as he lies helpless. The situation escalates when he wakes up next to a dead body, realizing his nightmare has only just begun.
