A young woman weaves her way into a billionaire family’s estate to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of her best friend in a nail-biting thriller full of corruption, wealth, morality, and revenge by #1 Amazon bestselling author Yasmin Angoe.
“Author Yasmin Angoe delivers an intriguing novel showcasing an all-POC cast and exploring the horrific power behind the rich, family secrets, found family, and inner perseverance.” —Booklist
A first-generation Ghanian American, recipient of the Eleanor Taylor Bland Award for Emerging Writers of Color, and author of the bestselling (and now optioned for TV series) Nena Knight espionage thriller trilogy, as well as the #1 bestselling psychological thriller, Not What She Seems – Yasmin Angoe is a fan favorite for those who adore suspense fiction. She’s also a critic’s darling. Her books have been praised as “deftly balancing action, interpersonal relationships, issues of trauma, and profound human questions” (Library Journal on Her Name is Knight), “Riveting. Character-driven. A literary thriller you will want to devour in one sitting” (The Washington Independent Review on Books on Not What She Seems), “grounding the plot’s surprising twists with lovable, fully realized characters” (Publishers Weekly on Not What She Seems), and writing “A dazzling, suspenseful tale of international intrigue” (The Guardian on Her Name is Knight).
In her new novel, BEHIND THESE FOUR WALLS (Thomas & Mercer; January 1, 2026), Yasmin Angoe builds upon her stellar reputation and delivers an exquisitely multi-layered psychological thriller full of family secrets, deep-seated revenge, and familial redemption.
Isla Thorne had a rough start in life. Orphaned young, she spent her formative years in a group home where she met her best friend, Eden Galloway. At sixteen, they decide to run away to LA… but Eden never makes it.
It’s been twelve years since Eden vanished. And Isla’s determined to find her.
She begins at the last place Eden visited: the Corrigan mansion in Virginia. Eden claimed to have unfinished business there. Posing as an aspiring journalist, Isla insinuates herself into the wealthy family’s home and begins searching for the truth.
The more she digs, the more Isla discovers Eden isn’t who she thought she was. Was she even a victim, or did Eden plan this all along? Desperate for answers and to keep her identity hidden, Isla finds an ally in one of the Corrigan sons. But as she wades deeper into this power-hungry family’s secrets and lies, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a bloodline that’s more lethal than loyal.
With heart-pounding danger, truly memorable characters, and continuously building tension ultimately resulting in a gasp-worthy conclusion, BEHIND THESE FOUR WALLS will linger in readers’ minds long after they’ve finished the last page.
