Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story.

A young woman is making a living faking it as a cut-price psychic (with some illegal soft-core sex work on the side). She makes a decent wage mostly by telling people what they want to hear. But then she meets Susan Burke. Susan moved to the city one year ago with her husband and 15-year-old stepson Miles. They live in a Victorian house called Carterhook Manor.

The Grownup, which originally appeared as 'What Do You Do?' in George R. R. Martin's Rogues anthology, proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world's most original and skilled voices in fiction.

A haunting true story of a serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California in the 70s and 80s, this narrative follows the gifted journalist who tragically died while investigating the case, which was ultimately solved in April 2018. The work is introduced by Gillian Flynn and features an afterword by Patton Oswalt. For over a decade, a violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California and ten sadistic murders in Southern California, eluding capture by multiple police forces and top detectives. Three decades later, true crime journalist Michelle McNamara, creator of TrueCrimeDiary.com, became determined to find the psychopath she named "the Golden State Killer." She meticulously examined police reports, interviewed victims, and engaged with online communities obsessed with the case. The masterpiece she was writing at the time of her sudden death offers a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the devastation he caused, while also portraying McNamara’s obsession and relentless pursuit of the truth. This utterly original and compelling work has been hailed as a modern true crime classic, fulfilling Michelle's dream of helping to unmask the Golden State Killer.
