A ghostwriter is lured by her dangerous celebrity subject in “a captivating story of love, rivalry, and revenge” from an award-winning mystery author (Publishers Weekly). From Linda Barnes, Anthony Award–winning author of the Carlotta Carlyle mystery series, a stunning breakout novel with pitch-perfect pacing and mesmerizing prose. Shy to the point of agoraphobic, Em Moore is the writing half of a celebrity biography team. Her charismatic partner, Teddy, does the interviewing and the public schmoozing. But Em’s dependence on Teddy runs deeper than just the job—Teddy is her bridge to the world. So when Teddy dies in a car accident, Em is devastated, alone in a world she doesn’t understand. The only way she can honor his memory and cope with his loss is to finish the interviews for their current book—an “autobiography” of renowned and reclusive film director Garrett Malcolm. Ensconced in a small cottage near Malcolm’s Cape Cod home, Em slowly builds the courage to interview Malcolm the way Teddy would have. She finds Malcolm at once friendlier, more intimidating, and much sexier than she had imagined. But Em soon starts hearing whispers of skeletons in the Malcolm family closet. And then the police begin looking into the accident that killed Teddy, and Em’s control on her life—tenuous at best—is threatened. “The flawed and fascinating protagonist of this literary mystery, is wily and driven . . . as she barrels down a twisty road leading to a spectacular and unexpected ending.” —B.A. Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author of The Art Forger “Em’s dramatic story of rebirth, addressed to Teddy in absentia, unfolds with the fitting precision of a stage play. . . . Outstanding.” —Booklist, starred review

I am going to show you why your pain is invisible to everyone else, and why, in the struggle to be seen, your body became your battlefield. From the outside, your life looks polished. You're talented, successful, strong. Your perfection safeguards you against suffering. Everyone assumes you're fine, and you hide in plain sight. But the truth is that, inside, you feel like a fraud. From childhood, you've been gaslighted by your own gifts. "Good enough" is impossible. But being perfect leaves no space to be human. You suffer in silence. You use your body as a canvas to scream your pain, shrinking in a desperate bid to be visible. This book is my story and the story of women I have worked with. It is the story of how vulnerability will unlock your truth and set you free. Iona Holloway woke up one day and knew she could never go on another diet. She was willing to sacrifice her "perfect body" if it meant she felt whole-not lost, ashamed, and hopeless. She became her own guide on the hard journey of coming home to herself. Haunting, vulnerable, blunt, and stunning, Ghost is a story that reveals why strong women go to war with their bodies. In her debut memoir, Iona Holloway explores lost childhood, identity webs, hot shame, emotional freeze, love, and lineage to tell the story of how to change not just behaviours, but beliefs. How to ask for help. How to let go of perfect. Now is not the time to shrink. This book won't heal you, but it will help you find the heart to heal.
