After Anna

From the New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes After Anna, a fast-paced, thrilling new novel full of suspense and emotional justice.

Noah Alderman, widower and single father, has remarried a wonderful woman, Ellen, and for the first time in a long time he and his son are happy. But their lives are turned upside down when Ellen’s daughter moves in with them. Anna is a drop-dead gorgeous sixteen-year-old with a secret dark side. Unbeknownst to everyone, Anna is not simply a selfish beauty, but a dangerously disturbed sociopath.

John begins his own investigation in order to clear his name and save his family, and what he discovers is darker than he could have ever imagined.
