Twenty years after her little sister was kidnapped, psychiatrist Annie Burton has a new patient… someone claiming to be her dead sister. IT’S ME, VIOLET From the award-winning author of “Trace of Evil” comes a terrifying new psychological thriller that will keep you up all night turning pages. When four dead bodies are discovered on a remote Connecticut beach, psychiatrist Annie Burton is called in to identify her little sister, Violet, who was abducted from their home 22 years ago by The Toothless Man. As Detective Noah Rochefort reopens the Violet Burton cold case, he and Annie get off to a rocky start, until they discover they share a similarly anguished past. When a traumatized young woman known only as “Jane Doe” is admitted to the psych hospital under Annie's care, her world is upended when Jane Doe breaks her silence and tells Annie, “It’s me, Violet.” How is that possible? Is Annie’s patient delusional? Or is this a con artist’s trick? As Annie is drawn deeper into her harrowing past, she must use all her wits and courage to fight a monster intent on exacting revenge.
