A pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner and
Mary Higgins Clark with a sly nod toward Alfred Hitchcock’s
classic film Rear Window, Someone Is Watching boasts the
extraordinary edge-of-your-seat storytelling of bestselling
author Joy Fielding at the height of her powers.
As a special investigator for a hot Miami law firm, Bailey
Carpenter is smart, savvy, and fearless. When she’s assigned to
on a deadbeat dad in the middle of the night, Bailey thinks
nothing of the potential dangers, only that she needs to gather
evidence. Then she is blindsided—attacked and nearly killed.
Now the firm grip Bailey once had on her life is shaken. Her
nightmares merge into her waking hours and she’s unable to
venture beyond her front door without panicking. A veritable
prisoner in her own home, Bailey is uncertain whom she can trust.
But old habits die hard, and soon Bailey finds a new use for her
idle binoculars: casually observing from her window neighboring
buildings and other people’s lives. This seemingly harmless
diversion becomes a guilty pleasure when Bailey fixates on the
handsome guy across the street—until she realizes that he is also
watching her. Suddenly she must confront the terrifying
possibility that he may be the man who shattered her life.
Though crippled by fear, Bailey knows she can’t ignore her
suspicions and risk leaving a predator at large. With the
making no headway in solving her case, she’s determined to
overcome her terror and recl the power she lost by uning
her attacker and taking him down herself. But it’s a harrowing
battle that threatens to wreck Bailey’s credibility, compromise
an investigation, and maybe even cl her sanity.
Praise for Someone Is Watching
“Someone Is Watching gripped me from the first to the very last
page. Bailey Carpenter is a heroine who’s both victim and warrior
woman, a fascinating sleuth who will linger with you long after
you’ve finished this thrilling read.”—Tess Gerritsen
“Joy Fielding has long been a go-to author for me. She never
fails to deliver an edge-of-your-seat read, and with her patented
blend of complex characters and escalating suspense she is in top
form here. I highly recommend Someone Is Watching.”—Karen Robards
“Joy Fielding pens a spiraling tale of paranoia and suspense, as
sultry as a Miami night. Readers will find a heroine to root for,
scold, and ultimately adore in Bailey Carpenter. Though
comparisons to Rear Window will inevitably arise, Fielding has
created something even more remarkable: a modern-day light in
which both cat and mouse are real, flawed, and eminently
relatable.”—Jenny Milchman
“Someone Is Watching is a gripping, fast-paced psychological
thriller reminiscent of Rear Window and the works of Lisa
Gardner. . . . Not geared to the faint of heart, Fielding’s story
of one woman’s search for justice, understanding, and internal
peace is nothing short of arresting.”—Booklist (starred review)
“This engrossing standalone from bestseller Fielding makes you
care about Bailey Carpenter. . . . The characters pulsate with
life, and there are a few shocks in store—for Bailey and the
reader—before the denouement. And the presence of Jade, Claire’s
outspoken teen daughter, blows everyone else off the
page.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A pageturning ride with a likable protagonist.”—Kirkus Reviews
