Laura Endicott has dementia and is slipping away fast. She asks only that they bring her daughter and let her say goodbye. "Laura," says her caregiver, "you have no daughter." Laura spent her life working for Gillian Abbott, heir to Abbott Timber. Laura has served as Gillian's maid, dresser, social secretary, and sometimes chef. Laura has done forty years with a smile and a bow. Gillian is a tight-lipped woman who has carefully managed even the air she allows Laura to breathe. Always the employer and never the friend, she pronounces it absurd now, that Laura, in the end, believes she has a child. Except, thirty years ago, the barren Gillian mysteriously had a child show up in her life one year after Laura's child died in childbirth. The Town of Winston watched Gillian raise her child—the private schools, finishing classes, special tutoring in French and Art, with a debutante ball then the Ivy League. Kimmie had it all, and Gillian dotes on her yet. Gillian, it turns out, is also the mother of Jennifer Ipswich, the anti-heroine of Girl, Under Oath. But then Laura's social worker at the assisted memory home stumbles upon an old secret and investigates. She then takes Laura to visit with Michael Gresham. Is this true? Attorney Gresham asks.

Let this USA Today author keep you up late another night with his best psych thriller yet, a book you will tell your friends about and wish never to live when it's your turn.
