The Locked Ward is the latest twisty thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Tonight and House of Glass, Sarah Pekkanen.

It was the Crime of the Decade. Pathological sibling rivalry. Bitter, all- consuming envy. Whatever the cause – and everyone has an opinion – it led Georgia Worthington, who was adopted as a newborn, to kill the younger, biological daughter of her wealthy, socially prominent family. A jury has just found Georgia not guilty by reason of insanity, and she’s being kept at an institution where the most violent offenders are held.

When her estranged sister, Amanda, visits her, Georgia’s first words are, “You’ve got to get me out of here. I didn’t do it.” Her sister can’t walk away. There has always been a part of her that feels missing – she covers it up with work and family, but on the inside, there’s a strange hollowness that she has hidden from everyone.

Does it exist because of the absence of her sister? Can Amanda really trust Georgia?

Or is she being led down a path of madness and into the web of a master manipulator. Nothing is as it seems in Sarah Pekkanen’s new psychological thriller, The Locked Ward.
