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

“Suspenseful, sexy, and soulful.”—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 Brodie’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 world—and into his arms. Even as Ava questions her own sanity, she eagerly looks forward to the captain’s ghostly visits. But she soon learns that the house she loves comes with a terrible secret, a secret that those in the village don’t want to reveal: Every woman who has ever lived in Brodie’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?

“Curl up in your favorite reading chair and let Tess Gerritsen whisk you away to a coastal town reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier’s best settings. You are in for a dark and sexy night, and you will be up very late with Tess’s twisted, haunting tale.”—Iris Johansen, #1 New York Times bestselling author“This is one of Gerritsen’s best mysteries ever, with Ava Collette an unlikely heroine you’ll never easily forget.

“A captivating and seductive tale exploring the dark embrace of grief and guilt, reminding us that nothing can haunt us as insidiously as our personal demons.”—Sylvia Day, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“This supernatural thriller from bestseller Gerritsen ranks with the best of her crime fiction. . . . This magnetic haunted house story will keep readers riveted from the very first page.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A spellbinding thriller. . . Gerritsen shifts a murder mystery into a Gothic thriller, replete with an unsteady widow's walk, secret alcove, strange smells, ominous sensations, and the ghost. The prologue echoes the dream of Manderley from Du Maurier’s Rebecca. . . . This riveting Gothic thriller explores the limits of love, guilt, and punishment.”Kirkus Reviews

“Gerritsen creates an atmospheric scene with the mansion and the Maine coastline, and readers will almost feel the breeze and hear the waves crashing against the rocks. The main story of Ava, who may—or may not—be descending into madness, is compelling, and a clever twist or two steers the narrative in unexpected ways. . . . Another winner for Gerritsen.”—Associated Press

“An exciting supernatural thriller.”TheRealBookSpy

The Shape of Night expertly blends mystery with romance and speculative fiction. Better yet, in a novel featuring death and the afterlife, this book is as comforting as a cup of cocoa on a winter’s day or a roaring fire in the midst of an October rainstorm.”New York Journal of Books
 
“Fans . . . will follow Gerritsen’s . . . story through the realms of mystery, paranormal romance, erotica, and psychological suspense to its compelling conclusion.” Library Journal

“A quick read that will appeal to fans of the genre.”Booklist

“A haunting romantic thriller with an irresistible Gothic twist, this is one of Gerritsen’s best.”

Über den Autor Tess Gerritsen

Tess Gerritsen ist eine der erfolgreichsten Spannungsautorinnen der Welt. Nach ihrem Medizinstudium an der University of California arbeitete sie als Ärztin, bevor sie mit dem Schreiben von Romanen begann. Der große internationale Durchbruch gelang ihr mit den Thrillern um Detective Jane Rizzoli und Gerichtsmedizinerin Maura Isles, die als Inspiration und Vorlage für die bekannte TV-Serie 'Rizzoli & Isles' dienten.Die Autorin lebt in einem ruhigen Städtchen in Maine, wo sie eines Tages eine verblüffende Entdeckung machte: Einige ihrer pensionierten Nachbarn waren früher als Spione tätig und führten ein aufregendes Leben, über das sie nicht sprechen dürfen. So entstand die Idee zu ihrer neuen Thrillerreihe 'Spy Coast' um eine Gruppe von Spionen im Ruhestand, die noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen gehören.

Ein Mann, eben stand er während des Feierabendgedrängels noch am Eingang eines Warenhauses, folgt aus einer Laune heraus einer Frau. Er kennt sie nicht, sieht sie auch nur von hinten, aber wie in einem Spiel sagt er sich: Geht sie dort entlang, folge ich ihr nicht weiter; geht sie in die andere Richtung, spiele ich das Spiel noch eine kleine Weile weiter. Es bedeutet ja nichts, niemand kommt zu Schaden, und der Abstand in der Menge ist so groß, dass die Frau es gar nicht bemerken wird. Eher ist es eine sportliche Aufgabe, sie in der Menge nicht zu verlieren. Was ihn bewegt, ist erst einmal unklar. Ist der Verfolger einfach ein gelangweilter Schnösel? Ein Verrückter? Ein Verbrecher? Er scheint selbst vor etwas zu fliehen. Etwas Bedrohliches liegt in der Luft, etwas Getriebenes. Ein atemloser Sog entsteht, in den auch der Leser gerät, je länger die Verfolgung anhält.
