The Breakdown A Novel

The Breakdown is the next chilling, propulsive novel from B.A. Paris, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors and Bring Me Back.

“Even harder to put down than Behind Closed Doors…with two in a row, Paris moves directly to the thriller A-list.”—Booklist (starred review)

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods. It was on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, and a woman was sitting inside—the one who was killed. Cass is trying to put the crime out of her mind. What could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm and, as her husband keeps reminding her, Cass might have been hurt herself if she’d pulled over.

But since then, Cass has been forgetting every little thing. Where she left the car, if she took her pills, even the alarm code. The only thing she can’t forget is that woman. And now that Cass keeps receiving silent phone calls, she can’t quite shake the feeling that someone’s watching her…

“A story with a ratcheting sense of unease—a tale of friendship and love, sanity, and the terrible unravelling of it.” —USA Today
