But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world, and why does he call her Mary? And why does her new neighbor seem to be obsessed with her? Sally's trust issues are about to be severely challenged in this "truly incredible reading experience" (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author).
