Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

A Haunting Invitation

In “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?”, bestselling author Sidney Sheldon crafts a masterful tale of suspense and deception that lures readers into the darkest corners of high society. When fashion icon Alexa Stanton is found dead at the peak of her glamorous career, the world mourns a genius gone too soon—but nothing about her demise is as it seems. Years later, a string of chilling deaths begins to mirror the circumstances of Alexa’s own mysterious end, and the whispers start anew: could the past be reaching out from beyond the grave?

Shadows of Deceit

Enter Victoria Lowell, a tenacious investigative journalist whose career has been defined by her unrelenting pursuit of truth. Drawn by a cryptic letter bearing Alexa’s elegant monogram, Victoria returns to the sun-drenched Riviera, where glistening yachts and opulent villas conceal long-buried secrets. As she interviews jaded socialites, embittered relatives, and a reclusive surgeon who once saved Alexa’s life, Victoria uncovers a tangled web of jealousy, betrayal, and artifice. Each new lead only deepens the mystery: why were Alexa’s closest friends so eager to forget her?

The Edge of Fear

With danger stalking her every shadow, Victoria races against time to piece together the fragments of a story someone is determined to bury forever. A cryptic diary entry, a hidden surgical scar, and a golden bracelet washed ashore become the clues to a long-forgotten pact—one that threatens to claim fresh victims under the cover of night. As the body count rises, Victoria must decide whether to trust the suave detective offering his protection or rely on her own instincts, even if it means standing alone at the precipice of terror.

A Revelation in Darkness

In a heart-stopping climax atop the cliffs where Alexa first proclaimed her masterpiece, the final secret is laid bare—and it will change everything you thought you knew about fame, fortune, and vengeance. Sidney Sheldon’s “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?” is an electrifying journey through glamour and gore, reminding us that some ghosts refuse to stay buried. Author’s description.
