While biking and heading out to meet Dexter at the house they want to look at to buy, Emma is struck by a car and killed. Dexter opens a cafe and gets his life back on track, while Emma comes into her own as a novelist and a screenwriter for a children's show. The trouble with Emma, however, and more specifically with her sister and narrator Cass, is that she announces so soon, so clearly, and so often that she can’t be trusted. They spend the next two years together happily. Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker is, for the most part, a compelling and sinister read, worthy of its sisters in modern things-ain’t-what-they-seem fiction.

For the next twenty years, their paths cross time and time again, between bad relationships, failed start-ups, heartache, loss, and joy.
