In Mountain Meadows, domestic dreams turn into nightmares. For newcomers Chris and Zoey Hamilton, the affluent community seems like the perfect location to build a life together. Instead, history repeats itself when Zoey vanishes without a trace-just like the previous homeowner five years ago. Enter FBI Special Agent Victoria Heslin, known for her relentless pursuit of the truth. Her investigation uncovers a history of lies and betrayal festering beneath manicured gardens and picture-perfect smiles. The more Victoria digs, the clearer it becomes: the secrets in Mountain Meadows run deep, and the greatest threats aren't lurking in the shadows...they're hosting dinner parties, attending parent-teacher conferences, doing yoga, and waving hello from behind their perfectly trimmed hedges. One of those polite, smiling individuals will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. THE BAD NEIGHBOR is book 9 in the award-winning Agent Victoria Thriller Series by USA Today bestselling author, Jenifer Ruff. Each book features a unique investigation and can absolutely be read as a STANDALONE.
