New York: Mysterious Press, (2004.) dj. Hardcover first edition - An excellent first novel, introducing television producer Robin Ballantyne, who has taken a year off to be the mother to her twin babies, and is now struggling to get her life together. Dust jacket praise from Ayelet Waldman who says " Sampson is a first novelist who writes with the sure confidence of a pro. She manages to juggle dead-on accurate details of mothering with terrifying suspense, a trick not many could master. A thriller in every sense of the word." 311 pp. ISBN: 0-892968133.
