Stalker

Arthur Pruitt has spent eleven years being overlooked.He knows every house on the cul-de-sac. Every routine. Every secret kept behind closed curtains and perfect lawns. As Neighborhood Watch Captain, he has logged every deviation, every unfamiliar car, every light left on past midnight — and no one has ever once taken him seriously.Tonight, the power grid fails.The security cameras go dark. The alarm systems go silent. Every advantage money can buy disappears in a single metallic crack from a transformer on Route 9.And Arthur is already in position.While his neighbors stumble through the blackout in blind, helpless panic, Arthur watches. What he sees from the darkness will give him more power over this street than eleven years of patrols ever could — power over the people who smiled past him, who called him by his first name in the tone they reserved for service workers, who never once considered what it might cost them to be seen by someone they refused to see.The Stalker is the third book in The Blackout series — a relentless, multi-POV psychological thriller in which the same catastrophic night unfolds through four different sets of eyes. Told entirely from Arthur's perspective, this is the story of a man who has always been on the outside looking in — and what happens when he finally decides to act on everything he knows.For readers who love You, The Silent Patient, and The Kind Worth Killing — a razor-sharp portrait of a man the neighborhood should have paid far more attention to.Can be read standalone or as part of the full series.
