When No One is Watching
Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo.
But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.
When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?
Reviews
"From the first page of WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, I felt like I was right
there in the gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood, filled with sharply
etched characters and dialogue that zings. Then bam! I was
knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that
doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." (Alafair
Burke, New York Times bestselling author)
