Die Pflegekraft

Her father is thriving under her care. Three patients before him died — peacefully.

For six years, Gerald Ashford has barely looked at his daughter. Now seventy-two, widowed, and alone in his glass house above the cliff, he's thriving again — thanks to Roz, the round-the-clock caregiver who gives him what Elise never could: calm, warmth, the feeling of being looked after.

Elise reads wills and death certificates for a living. She sees patterns where others see coincidence. And when she discovers that Roz's three previous patients all died "peacefully" — each shortly after changing their will — a trail begins: data, clauses, and handwriting that's just a little too neat.

But every warning makes Elise sound like the disinherited daughter fighting for her share. No one believes her — not her brother, not the police, and least of all her father, who takes Roz at her every word. To save the man who cast her out, Elise must prove something that sounds impossible: that the kindest woman in the house is the most dangerous.

And the clock is running. The notary arrives in nineteen days.

A psychological thriller about care that becomes a weapon — and the question of who a person belongs to at the end of life. For readers of domestic thrillers that get under your skin.
