Description: First Edition. | New York : Grand Central Publishing, 2022. |
    Summary: “Psychiatrist Imani Banks and her restaurateur husband Philip are
    living the New York City dream. They own a posh townhouse in Brooklyn
    Heights, their two children are standouts at their private school, and they are
    well-liked in their affluent community. Tonya Sayre is living the NYC nightmare.
    After moving to Manhattan with dreams of becoming a Broadway star, she has
    found herself stuck in a waitressing job and struggling to support her teenage
    daughter, Layla. She also fears Layla’s father, Rick, who is back in their life. When
    Philip’s restaurant closes due to the lockdown, they decide to take on a renter and
    let the extra rooms to Tonya and Layla. As Tonya begins skipping payments, the
    tension with Imani grows. She becomes convinced that Tonya is a professional
    grifter who preys upon the sympathies of men to live rent free. She even thinks
    Tonya might have been involved in the shocking murders of the Walkers, a
    neighboring family. But evicting someone during a pandemic is no easy feat. Imani
    soon finds herself stuck with a woman whom she believes to be a killer”
