A fast-paced, intense psychological thriller from an international bestselling author--Rear Window meets The Silent Wife. Bailey has it all. At least, she had it all--a job she loved as a high-powered investigator in a top Miami law firm, a gorgeous condo in a stylish downtown high rise, a handsome boyfriend, a sizeable inheritance. A seemingly idyllic life. But that was before a brutal attack left her feeling insecure about her entire world. And with her attacker still on the loose and the police at a loss for clues, she can't shake off the feeling that someone is watching her, monitoring her every move. Even after her half-sister, Claire, and Claire's sassy teenage daughter, Jade, move into her apartment to care for her, their presence does little to ease her overwhelming anxiety. Plagued by nightmares, she begins spying on her neighbours through high-powered binoculars, becoming obsessed with the new tenants in the building across from hers. But the strange things she sees only deepen her fears. Is it all in her head? Is her growing paranoia just a symptom of trauma? Or is it possible that someone is really watching?

ジョイ・フィールディングが描く本作の真髄は、完璧な日常が崩壊した後に残る恐怖を執拗に解剖する筆致にあります。双眼鏡越しに隣人を覗き見る行為は、自己を喪失した者が世界との繋がりを求める痛切な叫びです。被害者が加害者の視線を常に背後に感じる、逃げ場のない心理的閉塞感は、読者の理性を激しく揺さぶります。 映像版が「視線」を介した緊張感を強調するのに対し、原作は読者を主人公の混濁した意識そのものへと深く沈めます。実写の緊迫感と、書籍でしか味わえない緻密な心理描写。この二つが重なる時、猜疑心と真実の境界が消える極上のスリルが完成します。五感を研ぎ澄ませ、この狂気の迷宮に足を踏み入れてください。
