No One Knows
A Novel

Five years of questions—is Josh still alive?
Five years of accusations—is Aubrey a cold-blooded murder?
The police never found Josh’s body, and after a lengthy trial, the state exonerated Aubrey. Now, they’ve declared Josh dead. Aubrey must move forward with her life, alone.
But when Aubrey sees a stranger who bears a striking resemblance to her dead husband, it upends the quiet life she’s built. Their chance encounter unravels a knot of deceit more tangled than Aubrey ever could have imagined. After all this time, is it possible Josh is actually alive?
No One Knows is a complex mystery that explores how far we will go to create a picture-perfect life and protect the ones we love.
