Ten years after her daughter disappeared, Morgan Sawyer sees a face she never stopped searching for.
Everyone around her calls it grief, obsession, or a cruel coincidence. Morgan knows what she saw, and she refuses to let doubt bury the truth again.
With only one person willing to believe her, Morgan begins following questions everyone else abandoned years ago. Every answer pulls her closer to the girl and further from the life she still has. As the search tightens around her family, her past, and her own memories, certainty becomes the most dangerous thing Morgan possesses.
VERA is a speculative psychological thriller about grief, motherhood, memory, and what can happen when belief becomes strong. It delivers emotional suspense, an unsettling search for truth, and a revelation that changes the meaning of everything that came before.
Perfect for readers drawn to the missing-daughter suspense of Lisa Jewell's Then She Was Gone, the maternal doubt and psychological tension of Ashley Audrain's The Push, and the mind-bending speculative unease of Helen Phillips's The Need.
VERA is a standalone BLACKLIST novella and is also included in the complete BLACKLIST collection.
