From her first New York Times bestseller, IN THE WOODS, to her beloved Cal Hooper series, Tana French has mesmerized readers for years with her bone-chilling plots and characters.
Hailed as “one of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox) and called “incandescent” by Stephen King, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn, and “unputdownable” (People), Tana French returns this March with THE KEEPER, a masterwork of atmospheric suspense and the third and final book in the Cal Hooper trilogy.
