Introduction

BEING DEVELOPED AS A TV SERIES BY FOX NETWORK

“An expertly rendered mystery, complete with compelling characters, an impeccably paced plot, and surprising twists...A must-read!” --Heather Gudenkauf, bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

A scientist and reluctant psychic is brought in to find a girl who went missing long ago in the new novel by Julia Heaberlin, the bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark

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.

I think her name starts with A or E.
Definitely a vowel.
She is embedded in the earth like a forgotten shipwreck on the ocean floor.
The voices of two men drift under the closed door—a childhood best friend who believes I brush shoulders with ghosts, and a stranger who thinks I’m a joke. Both are cops. Both are agitated. I wish they’d burst in, get it over with, tell me to continue or not with this dead girl lying under my chewed pink fingernails. ... view entire excerpt...

Discussion Questions

Questions from the publisher:

At first glance, "science" and "psychic" are on two very different ends of a spectrum. Do you think Vivvy successfully blends these two elements in her life?

Does one or the other hinder her ability to connect with other people? Or to do her job?

Discuss Vivvy's relationship with her mother and with her sister.

How did Vivvy and Brig end up on such different paths? How have they each processed the relationships and events in their lives?

What function does Vivvy's diary play in the plot?

Why do you think the author included insights into Vivvy's childhood?

Karissa Vacker employs a variety of different voices for the characters throughout the book. Can a narrator's performance enhance character development?
