The Intruder

by Freida McFadden · 2025

When a violent storm bears down on a remote New Hampshire cabin, Casey, newly unemployed and living alone, discovers a blood‑stained teenage girl hiding outside her kitchen window. The girl clutches a knife, refuses to explain where she came from, and soon forces Casey into a night of terror, secrets, and desperate choices. As the wind howls and the power fails, Casey must decide whether to help the intruder or protect herself, while the girl's dark secret threatens to kill anyone who gets too close. In this taut, claustrophobic psychological thriller, Freida McFadden explores how far one girl will go to survive and what happens when the line between victim and threat blurs.
