    “A fiendishly efficient, gorgeously written, nasty little thrill ride of a psychological thriller. I couldn’t put it down, and it’s entirely possible that I’ll never sleep again. A true tour-de-force of a debut novel.”—Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham and Jane Steele For fans of Shirley Jackson, Sarah Waters and Daphne du Maurier, an electrifying debut about a boy left alone in his family’s English estate with a housekeeper he suspects has murdered his mother Nine-year-old Samuel lives alone in a once-great estate in Surrey with the family’s housekeeper, Ruth. His father is dead and his mother has been abroad for months, purportedly tending to her late husband’s faltering business. She left in a hurry one night while Samuel was sleeping and did not say goodbye.Beyond her sporadic postcards, Samuel hears nothing from his mother. He misses her dearly and maps her journey in an atlas he finds in her study. Samuel’s life is otherwise regulated by Ruth, who runs the house with an iron fist. Only she and Samuel know how brutally she enforces order.As rumors in town begin to swirl, Samuel wonders whether something more sinister is afoot. Perhaps his mother did not leave but was murdered—by Ruth.Artful, haunting and hurtling toward a psychological showdown, The Boy at the Keyhole is an incandescent debut about the precarious dance between truth and perception, and the shocking acts that occur behind closed doors.

    They won the war. No one remembers who they fought. That was the first edit. 
    In the Northern Union, screens never go dark. Citizens move through life guided by algorithms, their loyalty rated from 0 to 10. History rewrites itself overnight. Children learn to whisper before they learn to read. And the Heir—the nation's smiling, synthetic leader—does not dream. The Heir does not bleed. 
    Artyom Voronov has never questioned the system. Not until a four-year-old boy asks if real apples exist. Not until a dying ruler's mask slips for one terrifying second. Not until an old man in an abandoned subway tunnel hands him a paperclip and whispers: "You kept something they cannot see." 
    That paperclip becomes a seed. Artyom uncovers the Zero Protocol—a decades-old plan to reduce the Slavic population by 60–70%. He joins an underground network of Keepers: librarians, coders, grandmothers, and a fierce woman named Elena, whose mother was turned into a cyborg. Together, they prepare to hijack the national broadcast and show the truth to a city that has forgotten how to look up. 
    But the Continuum has its own weapons. The Heir watches everything. And Korolev—the faceless mastermind—has never lost. Until now. 
    For fans of *1984*, The Handmaid’s Tale, and We. A chillingly real dystopia about memory, resistance, and the hope that leaves no data trail. 
    The algorithm does not dream. But it watches those who do.
