Desperate for a fresh start, a young woman moves into a gorgeous, surprisingly affordable brownstone apartment, only to find herself suffocated by the invasive behavior of her new landlord and neighbors. She soon discovers that the previous tenant vanished under highly suspicious circumstances without ever packing her bags or collecting her security deposit. When strange noises begin echoing from the vents at night and minor items start disappearing from her rooms, she realizes someone has absolute access to her living space. The text delivers a brilliant, claustrophobic look at urban isolation and stalking, serving as a vital stock item for psychological thriller completionists.
