From bestselling author Freida McFadden, The Accountant is a compelling thriller haunted by secrets from the past that raises the question: Do you really know the person working next to you?
Dawn Schiff is a strange person.
Or at least that's what everyone at Vixed, the dietary supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant, thinks. She can't understand irony, never seems to know the right thing to say, has no friends, and her day is perfectly timed—she sits down at her desk at 8:45, goes to the bathroom at 10:15, eats lunch at 11:45, goes to the bathroom a second time at 2:30, and calls it a day at 5:00.
So when Dawn doesn't show up at the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell, a beautiful, charismatic woman who has been Vixed's top salesperson for five consecutive years, is surprised. And that surprise turns to horror after she answers a disturbing, anonymous phone call at Dawn's desk...
This changes everything. It turns out Dawn wasn't just a weirdo and socially awkward: she was the target of something terrible, perpetrated by someone close to her. And now Natalie is irrevocably linked to the accountant as she finds herself caught in a cat-and-mouse game that leads her to wonder: who is the real victim in this story?
But one thing is certain: someone hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill her.
The Accountant is a tense and addictive thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden, author of The Maid , that explores how dark secrets from the past can echo in the present, with fatal consequences.
