Vivvy Bouchet, daughter of a known psychic, was ten when she saved a boy's life by making an impossible prediction. Now she's an astrophysicist in Texas, devoted to science, but the boy she saved has become a cop who continues to believe she can see things no one else can. When he begs for help on the high-profile cold case of a kidnapped girl, Vivvy steps back into the ocean of voices that once nearly drowned her.
She is forced to team up with detective Jesse Sharp, a skeptic of anything but fact. When Vivvy becomes the target of a conspiracy theorist podcaster, she fights back with both her scientific mind and her inexplicable gifts, hoping to lure a kidnapper, find a child who haunts her, and lay some of her own ghosts to rest.
Sharply relevant, Julia Heaberlin's Night Will Find You explores the mysterious nature of belief--in psychic power, in science, in conspiracies, in a higher power--and the delicate dance between scientific truth and the things we can't explain.
Julia Heaberlin is the internationally bestselling author of six thrillers, including Night Will Find You, We Are All the Same in the Dark, Paper Ghosts, and Black-Eyed Susans. Her books have sold in more than twenty countries. We Are All the Same in the Dark won the 2020 Writers' League of Texas award for fiction, and Paper Ghosts was a finalist for Best Hardcover Novel at the International Thriller Awards. Before writing novels, Heaberlin was a journalist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, and The Detroit News, which fed her interest in true crime and the forgotten stories of victims, a theme she carries into her fiction . She currently lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with her family, where she's working on her next psychological thriller.
Heaberlin is in conversation with Aman Batheja, senior political editor at TIME Magazine. He previously worked as an editor in the New York Times' Washington Bureau and for 15 years as a journalist in Texas, including as the first political editor for The Texas Tribune. He lives in Washington, DC with his wife and kids.
