Tell Me Who You Are

The Silent Patient meets Gone Girl in this sharp psychological thriller about a psychiatrist with a shocking past and her dangerous new patient.

Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Strange is certain she knows what’s best for her patients, her family, and pretty much everyone else, but that all changes when a troubled young man named Nelson Schack arrives for his appointment and makes a pair of alarming confessions: I’m going to kill someone, and I know who you really are.

When detectives show up later that day, inquiring about a missing woman, it looks like Nelson has made good on his threat--yet somehow it’s Dr. Caroline who becomes the prime suspect.

Convinced the police are incompetent, Dr. Caroline takes matters into her own hands, chasing down the elusive Nelson and running headlong into a past she has spent her entire life trying to forget. As she closes in on her target, people begin questioning who Dr. Caroline really is, and all the polished pieces of her manicured life start to splinter.

Harrowing, unpredictable, and compulsively readable, the award-winning author Louisa Luna’s Tell Me Who You Are is an utterly gripping psychological thriller that asks, Can a person ever really outrun their past?

Louisa Luna is the author of seven novels, including the Alice Vega series. She received the 2023 Sue Grafton Memorial Award for her novel Hideout. She was born and raised in San Francisco and lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and daughter.
