In New York Times bestselling author Flynn Berry's gripping new thriller, an ordinary woman is ordered to spy on a suspected enemy of the state-or become one
A private nurse. A mysterious patient. A dangerous secret.
Every week, Eleanor commutes from her house in the countryside to Washington, DC, to visit her wealthy, powerful patients. On a warm spring morning, an officer from a shadowy security agency approaches her along the canal and orders her to inform on one of them, a foreign service officer named Anna.
Eleanor faces an impossible choice: Will she destroy another woman's life, or her own? Anna is suspected of hiding a shocking secret, but she appears warm and trustworthy. Despite all Eleanor is risking, an unlikely friendship starts to form-and when she learns that her assignment is even more sinister than it seemed, their fates become dangerously entwined. Will Eleanor fulfill her mission to spy on a suspected enemy of the state, or become one?
A masterly new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of four acclaimed novels including Northern Spy and Under the Harrow, A Good Man on a Dark Night is both a riveting page-turner and a rich exploration of womanhood, friendship, and love in an era that threatens all three.
