Liar, Dreamer, Thief

Katrina Kim is a broke, black sheep of her family, and slightly unhinged, but she is not a stalker. Her obsession with her co-worker, Kurt, is just one of many coping mechanisms. When Katrina finds a cryptic message from Kurt that implies he is aware of her surveillance, her tenuous hold on a normal life crumbles. Driven by compulsion, she enacts the most powerful ritual she has to reclaim control, a midnight visit to the Cayatoga Bridge, and arrives just in time to witness Kurt's suicide. Each revelation uncovers a menacing truth: for every moment she was watching him, he was watching her.

Katrina Kim may have financial difficulties, be the outcast of her family, and exhibit signs of instability, but she is not a stalker. Her infatuation with her co-worker, Kurt, is just one of the coping mechanisms she employs, along with her constant rituals involving shape and numbers, or the way scenes from her favorite children's book invade her vision when she feels anxious or stressed. However, when Katrina discovers a cryptic message from Kurt that suggests he is aware of her surveillance, her already fragile grip on a normal life begins to unravel. Driven by an overwhelming compulsion, she embarks on the most powerful ritual she has to regain control: a midnight visit to the Cayatoga Bridge. To her horror, she arrives just in time to witness Kurt's suicide. Before he takes his own life, he confronts her with a devastating accusation: his death is all her fault.

Horrified, Katrina delves into the clues she has gathered about Kurt over the past three years, hoping to unravel the truth and clear her name. However, each revelation brings forth a more menacing truth: for every moment she was observing him, he was also observing her. And the past she thought she had left behind? It has been haunting her more closely than she ever could have imagined.

Liar, Dreamer, Thief is a gripping page-turner that delves into the complexities of human life and the dangers associated with unveiling people's most closely guarded secrets. It is an intimate portrayal of life in all its intricacies, offering a sensitive exploration of mental health issues. Through Katrina's journey, readers are invited to contemplate the blurred lines between observation and obsession, and the consequences that arise when we choose to peer into the lives of others.
