About this book

Kit's usually so good at reading people. How could she have been taken in by the deceptions of a con man? And why has he targeted her? Piece by piece, Kit realizes that this treachery goes a lot deeper, and gets a lot deadlier. Now the only way out is to expose the vicious puppet master who's turned her life upside-down. Adventurous in her work as owner of a boutique interior design firm, Kit Finn couldn't be tamer in her personal life. While on vacation in the Florida Keys, she resolves to do something risky for once, and acts on her attraction to a charming stranger at her hotel. But back in New York, when Kit arrives at his luxury apartment ready to pick up where they left off in the Keys, she doesn't recognize the man standing on the other side of the door. Kit's been thrown into a treacherous plot-- and the only way to protect herself, her business, and the people she loves is to find out the true identity of the man who has turned her life upside down.

Cover of Good neighbors

Good neighbors

Ryan David Jahn

At 4:00 A.M. on March 13, 1964, a young woman returning home from her shift at a local bar is attacked in the courtyard of her Queens apartment building. Her neighbors hear her cries; no one calls for help. Unfolding over the course of two hours, "Good Neighbors" is the story of the woman's last night. It is also the story of her neighbors, the bystanders who kept to themselves: the anxious Vietnam draftee; the former soldier planning suicide; the woman who thinks she's killed a child and her husband, who will risk everything for her. Reveals a fascinating cross-section of American society in expertly interlocking plotlines.
