Description
A woman disappears and frames her husband for her murder—but she soon learns the past isn't so easily left behind
Jace and Tessa appear to be a young couple in love with nothing to hide. But looks can be deceiving.
When Jace Montgomery comes home late from entertaining clients, he discovers that 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 have him pegged as a suspect, especially after he explodes at a reporter during a press conference. Jace maintains his innocence despite the mounting evidence against him, but 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. What is he really hiding?
Meanwhile, Tessa finally feels safe, having set up her husband to take the fall for her disappearance—and someone close to him is helping her put him away. Breaking her lifelong pattern of bad men is only one hurdle she has to overcome. The other is outrunning her secret past while trying to stay alive, especially when those in her new life aren’t who they appear to be.
Jace’s lies don't add up and the authorities are closing in. Will Tessa’s old life catch up to her and drag her back to a life of abuse before justice is served?
Finding Tessa is a smart domestic thriller where nothing can be taken at face value, where every twist reveals a deadlier secret than the one before. Fans of Gillian Flynn, Samantha Downing, and incisive, fresh psychological suspense won't want to miss it.

Advance Praise
"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, bestselling author of White Out
"A dark tale of abuse, revenge and redemption, full of head-spinning, mind-boggling, Gone Girl-sized twists." - Michele Campbell, internationally bestselling author
