    The Night Before
    by Lisa Jackson

    Caitlyn Montgomery Bandeaux wakes one Savannah morning with a pounding headache—and covered in blood, the news of her estranged husband's brutal murder a cruel taunt in her ears. Now the police want answers, and Caitlyn finds she has none...

    The only person Caitlyn can turn to is her reclusive twin sister Kelly. Only Kelly knows all about that troubles that run through the Montgomery family...about the recurring blackouts...the old plantation home with it's dark secrets and tangled lies...and the sins that haunt Caitlyn in horrifying, fragmented memories. But now, when Caitlyn needs her sister most, she finds that Kelly is warning her not to say a word...especially to the town's handsome new psychologist, Adam Hunt...

    Determined to free the darkest corners of her mind, Caitlyn begins to confide in Adam—a man who seems to hold the key to her past and future. As they work together, the desperation she feels at each new blackout gives way to an icy terror as the truth begins to surface, bit by fractured bit...revealing a shocking discovery deadlier than anyone could ever imagine...



    Lisa Jackson's Bio

    Lisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of more than 85 novels, including Afraid to Die, Tell Me, You Don’t Want to Know, Running Scared, Without Mercy, Malice, and Shiver. She is also the co-author of the Colony Series, co-written with her sister, Nancy Bush. There are over 20 million copies of Lisa Jackson’s books in print in twenty languages. Before she became a nationally bestselling author, Lisa Jackson was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, the USA Today, and the Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists. With over thirty bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity – and back – in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional and downright twisted.  As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims, and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.
