She can't leave the dying mall until she learns what happened to her sister. The truth is waiting in the darkness.
My sister Audrie disappeared from Nightfall Commons Mall fifteen years ago.She was eight years old. She vanished from the play area while I was supposed to be watching her.
The police gave up. My parents gave up. Everyone moved on.
Everyone except me.
Now I work in that same dying mall, walking the empty corridors every night, searching for answers in a building that's barely alive. I can't leave. Can't stop looking. Can't let go of the guilt that's been eating me alive since I was seventeen years old.
I have help in the form of a security guard named Jeremy. He finds something in the security footage. Gaps. Missing sections. Maybe an explanation for the strange things I'm seeing.
As we search deeper into the abandoned corridors, we're getting close to the truth. But the killer is watching us. And they've kept their secrets buried this long for a reason.
After Closing is a psychological thriller with plenty of twists and a deeply unsettling ending that will stay with you long after the final page.
Content Warning: This book involves the disappearance and deaths of children. While not graphically depicted, these themes are central to the story and may be disturbing to some readers.
