A pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner and Mary
Higgins Clark with a sly nod toward Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film
Rear Window, Someone Is Watching boasts the extraordinary
edge-of-your-seat storytelling of bestselling author Joy Fielding at
the height of her powers. As a special investigator for a hotshot
Miami law firm, Bailey Carpenter is smart, savvy, and fearless. When
she’s assigned to spy on a deadbeat dad in the middle of the night,
Bailey thinks nothing of the potential dangers, only that she needs to
gather evidence. Then she is blindsided—attacked and nearly killed.
Now the firm grip Bailey once had on her life is shaken. Her
nightmares merge into her waking hours and she’s unable to venture
beyond her front door without panicking. A veritable prisoner in her
own home, Bailey is uncertain whom she can trust. But old habits die
hard, and soon Bailey finds a new use for her idle binoculars:
casually observing from her window neighboring buildings and other
people’s lives. This seemingly harmless diversion becomes a guilty
pleasure when Bailey fixates on the handsome guy across the
street—until she realizes that he is also watching her. Suddenly she
must confront the terrifying possibility that he may be the man who
shattered her life. Though crippled by fear, Bailey knows she
can’t ignore her suspicions and risk leaving a predator at large.
With the police making no headway in solving her case, she’s
determined to overcome her terror and reclaim the power she lost by
unmasking her attacker and taking him down herself. But it’s a
harrowing battle that threatens to wreck Bailey’s credibility,
compromise an investigation, and maybe even claim her sanity. Praise
for Someone Is Watching “Someone Is Watching gripped me from the
first to the very last page. Bailey Carpenter is a heroine who’s
both victim and warrior woman, a fascinating sleuth who will linger
with you long after you’ve finished this thrilling read.”—Tess
Gerritsen “Joy Fielding has long been a go-to author for me. She
never fails to deliver an edge-of-your-seat read, and with her
patented blend of complex characters and escalating suspense she is in
top form here. I highly recommend Someone Is Watching.”—Karen
Robards “Joy Fielding pens a spiraling tale of paranoia and
suspense, as sultry as a Miami night. Readers will find a heroine to
root for, scold, and ultimately adore in Bailey Carpenter. Though
comparisons to Rear Window will inevitably arise, Fielding has created
something even more remarkable: a modern-day Gaslight in which both
cat and mouse are real, flawed, and eminently relatable.”—Jenny
Milchman “Someone Is Watching is a gripping, fast-paced
psychological thriller reminiscent of Rear Window and the works of
Lisa Gardner. . . . Not geared to the faint of heart, Fielding’s
story of one woman’s search for justice, understanding, and internal
peace is nothing short of arresting.”—Booklist (starred review)
“This engrossing standalone from bestseller Fielding makes you care
about Bailey Carpenter. . . . The characters pulsate with life, and
there are a few shocks in store—for Bailey and the reader—before
the denouement. And the presence of Jade, Claire’s outspoken teen
daughter, blows everyone else off the page.”—Publishers Weekly
(starred review) “A pageturning ride with a likable
protagonist.”—Kirkus Reviews
