Parents Weekend

AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the bestselling author of If Something Happens to Me, comes one of the year's most anticipated thrillers.

In the glow of their children's exciting first year of college at a small private school in Northern California, five families gather over dinner and cocktails for the opening festivities of Parents Weekend. As the parents stay out way past their bedtimes, their kids-five residents of Campisi Hall-never show up to dinner.

At first, everyone thinks they're just being college students, irresponsibly forgetting about the gathering or skipping out to go to a party. But as the hours tick by and another night falls with not so much as a text from the students, panic ensues. Soon the campus police call in reinforcements. Search parties are formed. Reporters swarm the small enclave. Rumors swirl and questions arise.

Libby, Blane, Mark, Felix, and Stella-The Five, as the podcasters, bloggers, and TikTok sleuths soon call them-come from very different families. What drew them out on that fateful night Could it be the sins of their mothers and fathers come to cause them peril-or a threat to the friend group from within

Told from each family's point of view-and marking the return of FBI Special Agent Sarah Keller from Every Last Fear and The Night Shift-Parents Weekend explores the weight of expectation, family dysfunction, and those exhilarating first days in the dorms when friends become family.
