NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of The Flight Attendant, here is a gripping psychological novel of obsession and consequence.

When Laurel Estabrook is attacked while riding her bicycle through Vermont’s back roads, her life is forever changed. Formerly outgoing, Laurel withdraws into her photography, spending all her free time at a homeless shelter. There she meets Bobbie Crocker, a man with a history of mental illness and a box of photographs that he won’t let anyone see. When Bobbie dies, Laurel discovers a deeply hidden secret–a story that leads her far from her old life, and into a cat-and-mouse game with pursuers who claim they want to save her. In a tale that travels between the Roaring Twenties and the twenty-first century, between Jay Gatsby’s Long Island and rural New England, bestselling author Chris Bohjalian has written an extraordinary novel.

Praise for The Double Bind

"Bohjalian is a master of literary suspense.... Convolutions of plot and a perfect instinct for timing are characteristic of his work, including the bestseller Midwives. They are the sorts of books people stay awake all night to finish." --Washington Post Book World

"Artfully crafted, terrifying.... Bohjalian has written a literary thriller.... Laurel is an unforgettable, vulnerable, complicated character, as is Crocker.... The pictures blur the line between reality and fiction, as photos so often do, making reality seem an even more precarious and dizzying height from which to read a work of fiction." --The Los Angeles Times
