In this “anxiety-fueled” psychological suspense “rife with unexpected left turns,” a wife deliberately disappears and her husband is accused of murder. (Publishers Weekly)
When Jace Montgomery comes home late one night from work, he discovers his wife Tessa is missing. There’s broken glass at the back door. Clumps of her hair. Blood. The cops in their small New Jersey town immediately peg him as a suspect, especially after he explodes at a reporter during a press conference. When a coworker he’s accused of having an affair with also disappears and a search warrant turns up an illegal gun in Jace’s home, all signs point to him as the culprit.
Meanwhile, Tessa finally feels safe, having set up her husband to take the fall for her disappearance. Breaking her lifelong pattern of bad men is only one hurdle she has to overcome. The other is outrunning her secret past. Will Tessa’s old life catch up to her and drag her back to a cycle of abuse before justice is served?

“A dark tale of abuse, revenge, and redemption, full of head-spinning, mind-boggling, Gone Girl-sized twists.” —Michele Campbell, international bestselling author of It’s Always the Husband
“A spellbinding debut you don’t want to miss!” —Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today bestselling author of Woman on the Edge
“A sharp and deftly constructed suspense thriller. . . . Fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl will love this debut novel” —The Florida Times-Union

Praise for this book
"A dark tale of abuse, revenge and redemption, full of head-spinning, mind-boggling, Gone Girl-sized twists." - Michele Campbell
"Finding Tessa has all the elements of the best type of thriller-characters that are at once empathetic and suspect, a riveting pace, and a plot that unravels in one clever twist after another. Just when I thought I'd figured out what was happening, Hendricks delivered an unexpected turn that left me back at square one and frantically turning pages until the final scene. Readers of Samantha Downing and Gillian Flynn won’t want to miss Hendricks’ compelling debut." - Danielle Girard
