From the instant New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell comes a dazzling new thriller.
June, 1975.
The Taylor family shatters in a single night when two teenage siblings are found dead in their own home. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the whispers and accusations that he was the one who killed them. Decades later, the legend only grows as his career as a horror writer skyrockets.
Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of Vincent Taylor. Now on the brink of financial ruin, she's offered a job to ghostwrite her father's last book. What she doesn't know, though, is that this project is another one of his lies. Because it's not another horror novel he wants her to write.
After fifty years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.

Reviews
"Beautifully written, utterly immersive and completely thrilling. A surefire hit." -- Jo Spain, author of The Perfect Lie and Dirty Little Secrets
"I was completely gripped by Julie Clark's phenomenal latest, The Ghostwriter, which is both a pulse-pounding thriller as well as a heart-wrenching family suspense with an explosive, decades old mystery at its center. Told from shifting points of view with propulsive, dual timelines, I couldn't stop racing through its pages. With twist after mind-blowing twist and a final reveal that will honest-to-God leave your jaw on the floor, The Ghostwriter is the ultimate masterclass in plotting. Elegant, wholly original, and completely unputdownable, I was transfixed." -- May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives and All the Little Houses
"In The Ghostwriter, Julie Clark peels back the painful layers of generational trauma in exquisite, chilling detail, to solve a long-unsolved double homicide. The Ghostwriter is a totally original, haunting literary thriller." -- Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Summers at the Saint and The Homewreckers
"Julie Clark does it again. In The Ghostwriter, Clark takes on family secrets with her trademark suspenseful storytelling and exquisite twists. The Ghostwriter is Clark at her best." -- Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me and The Night We Lost Him
"Julie Clark is a master storyteller at the top of her game. The Ghostwriter is a richly layered family drama unspooling out of a dark history, as much a tale of a woman searching for connection with her enigmatic father as it is a brilliant mystery about a night of violence whose consequences echo into the present. Clark's books are always irresistibly plotted and expertly written, but The Ghostwriter, with its powerful emotional reckoning at the center, its father and daughter reaching for each other across time, takes it to a whole new level. This is a book to be devoured and then, in retrospect, savored. I loved everything about it." -- Ashley Winstead, national bestselling author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour
"Once again, Julie Clark is the queen of the twist. Intricately layered and full of emotional complexity, The Ghostwriter throws you in the deep end and keeps you there until the very last page. It left me breathless." -- Janelle Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Things, Watch Me Disappear, and All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
"I love all of Julie Clark's books and The Ghostwriter is at the top of that list! Expertly plotted and exquisitely twisted... Julie Clark masterfully weaves together a daughter's long-held suspicions and her father's deadly secrets with the tragic events from the past. The Ghostwriter kept me turning pages in this suspenseful search for the truth." -- Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins
