The Wife In The Walls

A body double psychological thriller of surveillance, secrets and survival.

I WASN’T HIRED FOR MY RESUME. I WAS HIRED FOR MY BONES.

I was $342,000 in the hole when the contract slid across the mahogany desk. My life had a price tag, and Vaughn Mercer just paid it.

Vaughn didn’t want a partner. He wanted a user interface.
A placeholder to stand in the floor-to-ceiling windows of his forty-story penthouse.
A body to wear his missing wife’s clothes, sign her name, and convince the world that the glamorous Daphne Mercer hadn't disappeared.

The offer? Total debt elimination. My sister's mortgage paid off. A six-figure bonus.
All I had to do was lose twelve pounds, dye my hair, and memorize the script.
It was supposed to be easy. I’ve been invisible my whole life.

But the penthouse isn't empty.

The smart house filters the air and watches my heat signature. The mirrors are engineered to spy. And at 2:15 A.M., when the sensors reset, the silence breaks.
There is scratching in the vents.
Something is crawling inside the ductwork. Something that steals food, whispers my new name, and knows the blind spots in the cameras better than the man who built them.

Vaughn thinks he purchased a blank slate.
He has no idea what he’s actually invited into his home.
And now I have a choice: become the perfect wife he paid for, or listen to the thing in the walls that wants to burn it all down.

Perfect for fans of the desperate survivalism of The Housemaid, the high-stakes identity games of First Lie Wins, and the terrifying confinement of Behind Closed Doors.

The Wife in the Walls is a story about the monsters we marry—and the monsters we become.
