The Child They Keep

A psychological thriller about the secrets buried behind white picket fences. Evelyn Monroe thought she was moving into a quiet neighborhood-the kind where nothing bad ever happens. But when she notices the boy next door-silent, pale, and always watching from the upstairs window-something doesn't sit right. His name is Oliver. Or at least, that's what his "parents" say. But Oliver never speaks. He doesn't go to school.
And the neighbors are strangely reluctant to talk about him-as if the house next door simply doesn't exist. When Evelyn begins to dig, she uncovers a disturbing truth: the boy is not who they say he is. He's a missing child-stolen, renamed, and hidden in plain sight. But as she races to expose the truth, she discovers something even more terrifying... The Gallaghers aren't alone. There's an entire system behind what they've done-and Evelyn is about to learn just how far some people will go to build the "perfect" family.
The Child They Keep is a haunting, page-turning psychological thriller about the lies we live beside, the innocence we ignore, and the cost of opening the wrong door.
