Michelle’s latest novel, NO ONE YOU KNOW, is “a thoroughly riveting literary thriller” (Booklist, starred review) about two sisters, an unsolved murder, an ancient mathematical puzzle, and the power of stories to shape our lives. Read the first chapter, and see why The Denver Post calls No One You Know “an equally addictive encore” to Richmond’s New York Times and international bestseller, THE YEAR OF FOG.Michelle Richmond
