A gripping psychological thriller that dives into the fragile boundaries between justice, memory, and the monsters we keep hidden.
When a brutal crime shakes a quiet neighborhood, Rain Winter is forced to confront her past—one marked by a childhood trauma that has never truly left her. As a journalist covering a case eerily similar to her own, Rain begins to suspect the avenger at large might be someone closer than she ever imagined. The Stranger Inside is a taut, emotional exploration of guilt, trauma, and the thin line separating victim from perpetrator.
 
Through Unger’s razor-sharp writing and psychological precision, the novel explores the echo of violence and the complexity of survival. Both atmospheric and intimate, The Stranger Inside is a chilling reminder that sometimes the darkest places aren’t haunted by strangers—they’re haunted by ourselves.
