Description

The Silent Patient meets Gone Girl in this sharp psychological thriller about a psychiatrist with a shocking past and her dangerous new patient.

Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Strange is certain she knows what's best for her patients, her family, and pretty much everyone else, but that all changes when a troubled young man arrives for his appointment and makes a pair of alarming confessions: I am going to kill someone, and I know who you really are.

Dr. Caroline is accustomed to hearing her patients' deepest, darkest secrets, but it seems Nelson Schack may be one step ahead when detectives show up later that day, inquiring about a missing woman. It looks like Nelson has made good on his threat--yet somehow it's Dr. Caroline who becomes the prime suspect.

Convinced the police are incompetent, Dr. Caroline takes matters into her own hands, chasing down the elusive Nelson and running headlong into a past she has spent her entire life trying to forget. As she closes in on her target, all the polished pieces of her manicured life splinter when people begin to question who she really is.

Harrowing, unpredictable, and compulsively readable, the award-winning author Louisa Luna's Tell Me Who You Are is an utterly gripping psychological thriller that begs the question: Can a person ever really outrun their past?

Critical Reviews

A Best Book of June from Apple Books

"Constantly surprising. . . Luna does an excellent job of sending us down dead ends and switchbacks, as we try to figure out which characters are psychopathic criminals, and which are merely psychopaths (or not)."
Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review

"Luna expertly keeps her cards close to her chest until nearly the nerve-wracking end of this engrossing, twisty character study of a complicated woman."
--Bookpage (starred review)

"Seriously, the ending of Tell Me Who You Are will have even the most seasoned thriller fan picking their jaw up off the floor."
--Apple Books

"Tell Me Who You Are
is the best sort of thriller--caustic, dynamic, unsettling, and scary. Louisa Luna's novel is sharp as a blade and hard to put down."
--Ivy Pochoda, author of Sing Her Down

"Seriously creepy cat-and-mice games ensue when a sharp-thinking therapist tries to track down a patient who may also be a kidnapper . . . [A] page-turning, twisted thriller."
-Kirkus (starred review)

"Cunning . . . Lisa Gardner fans, take note."
-Publishers Weekly

"Tell Me Who You Are is propulsive. Louisa Luna gives us rich characters, sharp dialogue, and a story that will keep you guessing--and thinking--right up to the last page. I loved this book."
--James Kestrel, Edgar award-winning author of Five Decembers

"This fantastic novel is like going out drinking with your sharpest, sexiest, most dangerous friend, and getting into trouble that's both unexpected and inevitable. Dr. Caroline Strange is a terrific and terrifying protagonist, the interwoven plots lines are propulsive, and the voice is absolutely riveting."
--Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of Two Nights in Lisbon

"Tell Me Who You Are absolutely glimmers with tension. Every page is as compelling and sharp as a blade to the ribs. Louisa Luna masterminds a virtuosic puzzle--this book kept me guessing all the way up to the end."
--Natalka Burian, author of The Night Shift
