What He Left Behind
He’s dead. His ashes are in her living room. So why is he in her friend’s phone?
Andrea Lawson thought the hardest part was behind her.
Six months after Greg’s fatal heart attack, she’s learning to function again. She drives her daughter to school. She joins the neighborhood carpool. She makes friends with the other mothers—women who seem to have everything Andrea has lost.
Then one of those friends shares a secret: she’s been seeing someone. Someone who makes her feel alive again.
Andrea sees the photo. And her world collapses.
Because the man smiling back at her is the husband she cremated. The man whose ashes sit in a box in her house.
Now Andrea must uncover the truth—about the life Greg hid from her, and about how far she’ll go to protect the people she loves.
What He Left Behind is a propulsive psychological thriller about a woman who thought she knew her husband—and the terrifying discovery that nothing—and no one—is what they seem.
