Sinopse

“This gripping haunted house story will captivate readers from the very first page.” - Publishers Weekly

After an unspeakable tragedy, guilt-ridden Ava Collete flees Boston and finds refuge in the remote town of Tucker Cove, in an old house called Brodie's Watch. With only her cat, Hannibal, for company, she hopes to work on her cookbook, which she has been trying unsuccessfully to finish for months. In the secluded seaside mansion, Ava finds peace... until she begins hearing strange noises.

Returning from a walk, Ava sees a figure standing at the Brodie's Watch lookout. But there can't be anyone there! The floorboards in that part of the house are deteriorated, and all the doors have been kept closed. It's said that Captain Jeremiah Brodie, a prominent figure in the town during the 19th century and an experienced sailor, has haunted the house since his death. Then, one night, Ava wakes to find shadows in her room, an apparition that seems very real and even makes her a proposition. Even questioning her own sanity, Ava accepts Jeremiah Brodie's invitation to a forbidden world and eagerly awaits visits from the captain's specter.

However, as much as the captain and her newfound inspiration for the book serve as a distraction, Ava discovers that the house she loves so much holds a terrible secret, one the residents of Tucker Cove don't want revealed: all the women who lived in Brodie's Watch also died there. Could Captain Brodie's ghost be responsible? Or is a real-life killer on the loose? Ava must uncover the truth before she suffers the same fate as the house's former residents.

The Shape of Night is a story of suspense and desire. A book in which Tess Gerritsen, author of bestsellers such as The Mephisto Club and The Surgeon , asks the reader: how far would you go to escape guilt? And offers us, in a hair-raising thriller, answers that can only be found by dealing with our own ghosts.
