The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer masterfully combines Stephen King with Donna Tartt, plus a twist of Shirley Jackson, in this timely tale of a man, his new partner, and his old dog.

When he was a boy, it was just him and his mother, and when he was an adult, it was just him, alone. Michael Corcoran thought it would always be that way.

Then heā€™d met Tina, who didnā€™t know that heā€™d never had friends, or what kinds of ā€œexperimentsā€ he liked to do in his lab in the garage as a boy. Instead of being alone, Michael had a wife, and children and, eventually, a dog.

Michael had promised himself he wasnā€™t going to be one of those people who pushed their dogs in carriages and called them ā€œfur babies.ā€ ā€œJust wait,ā€ Tina saidā€”and soon enough, Lady was enjoying premium kibble and wearing a tiny Eagles jersey, plus special booties for the snow. He and Tina even developed a voice for Lady, a routine: a low, gruff, cigarettes-and whiskey tone that went with the tragic backstory they gave her.

Then Tina found a lump in her breast. And then she was gone. And then small, determined Suzanne Nelson dropped by Michaelā€™s newly empty apartment with some homemade lasagna and never left. The transition wouldā€™ve gone smoothly if not for Ladyā€”and the lisping, babyish falsetto Suzanne used when she ā€œtalkedā€ as the dog.

Michael asked her to stop. And Suzanne did her best. But some things people canā€™t change, no matter how they try, like how they sound, and who they loveā€”and who they are, in the wee small hours, when itā€™s dark and no oneā€™s watching.
