Synopses

You

When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck walks into the bookshop where Joe works, he is instantly drawn to her. As their relationship develops, there is more to both of them than first appears, and the obsession escalates towards deadly consequences.

Providence

In 2008, 13-year-old Jon Bronson disappears on his morning walk to school. Years later he returns with no memory of anything after the day he vanished, but something about him seems changed.

Those around him experience strange effects, including spontaneous nosebleeds and sudden blackouts, and even the family dog disappears.

Hidden Bodies

Joe arrives in Los Angeles hoping to leave New York behind. After meeting someone new in a darkened room at Soho House, he becomes determined to keep his past hidden, but secrets have a way of resurfacing.

You Love Me

Joe moves to the Pacific Northwest seeking a quieter life and takes a job at the local library. There he meets Mary Kay, a fellow librarian with a life of her own, and convinces himself he is ready for a future together, even as his intentions turn dangerous.

For You and Only You

Joe is no longer selling books; he is writing them, and believes he is making progress. Invited to a writing fellowship at Harvard, he thinks he has found a place where talent matters more than pedigree, until he encounters his already-published, highly privileged peers.
