A private nurse. A mysterious patient. A dangerous secret. Every week, Eleanor commutes from her house in the countryside into Washington, D.C. to visit her wealthy, powerful patients. On a warm spring morning, an officer from a shadowy security agency approaches her along the riverbank and orders her to inform on one of them, a foreign service officer named Anna. Eleanor faces an impossible choice: will she destroy another woman's life, or her own? Anna is suspected of hiding a shocking secret, but she appears warm and trustworthy. Despite all Eleanor is risking, an unlikely friendship starts to form - and when she learns that her assignment is even more sinister than it seemed, their fates become dangerously entwined. Can Eleanor unravel the government's plans before it's too late? A masterly new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of four acclaimed novels including the Reese's Book Club pick Northern Spy, A Good Man on a Dark Night is both a riveting page-turner and a rich exploration of womanhood, friendship, and love in an era that threatens all three.
