When Secrets Kill, Trust Is the Only Escape

In Are You Afraid of the Dark?, global bestselling author Sidney Sheldon delivers a relentless, edge-of-your-seat thriller where nothing—and no one—is what it seems.

In four cities across the world—New York, Denver, Paris, and Berlin—four people die under mysterious circumstances. Their deaths appear accidental, until two widows, Diane Stevens and Kelly Harris, find themselves under ruthless attack, drawn into a deadly conspiracy far larger than either of them could have imagined.

Are they being targeted because of a high-profile criminal trial? Or is the key hidden in the work of their late husbands—brilliant scientists tied to a powerful international Think Tank on the verge of a world-changing discovery?

As Diane, a sophisticated artist from Manhattan, and Kelly, a Paris-based model with a turbulent past, race to uncover the truth, they become the hunted in a chilling game of survival. What they know could shatter the future. What they uncover could cost them their lives.

Taut, electrifying, and disturbingly plausible, Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at his most gripping—a pulse-pounding story of betrayal, power, and two women fighting back against the dark.
