The Shape of Night: A Novel

The Shape of Night: A Novel

A woman trying to outrun her past is drawn to a coastal village in Maineâ€”and to a string of unsolved murdersâ€”in this novel of romance and psychological suspense from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

â€œSuspenseful, sexy, and soulful.â€â€”J. R. Ward, bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series

After an unspeakable tragedy in Boston, Ava Collette flees to a remote village in Maine, where she rents an old house named Brodieâ€™s Watch.

In that isolated seaside mansion, Ava finally feels at peace . . . until she glimpses the long-dead sea captain who still resides there.

Rumor has it that Captain Jeremiah Brodie has haunted the house for more than a century. One night, Ava confronts the apparition, who feels all too real, and who welcomes her into his worldâ€”and into his arms. Even as Ava questions her own sanity, she eagerly looks forward to the captainâ€™s ghostly visits. But she soon learns that the house she loves comes with a terrible secret, a secret that those in the village donâ€™t want to reveal: Every woman who has ever lived in Brodieâ€™s Watch has also died there. Is the ghost of Captain Brodie responsible, or is a flesh-and-blood killer at work? A killer who is even now circling closer to Ava?
