She can't see movement. But she may be the only witness to a murder.
From bestselling author Armando Lucas Correa comes a gripping psychological thriller about obsession, perception and the terrifying consequences of being the only witness to a crime.
Twenty-eight-year-old Leah has lived her entire life with akinetopsia, a rare neurological condition known as motion blindness. She cannot perceive movement—only a series of frozen images. Most people assume she's blind, but Leah notices more than anyone realizes, and she never forgets a face.
Living alone in an ageing Upper Manhattan apartment building, Leah prefers routine and solitude. Then Alice moves in next door.
Beautiful, charming and clearly frightened, Alice quickly becomes Leah's only friend. As their bond grows, Alice confides in her about a controlling ex-husband who refuses to let her go.
Then one night, Leah hears Alice screaming through the wall.
Desperate pleas. Sounds of a struggle. Silence.
Certain that something terrible has happened, Leah becomes convinced her neighbour is in danger—or already dead. But with no proof and a condition that makes others question what she sees, Leah finds herself trapped in a nightmare where no one believes her.
As her search for the truth intensifies, Leah is forced to confront a deadly threat lurking closer than she ever imagined. And the more she uncovers, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
