The Room My Brothers Sealed: The Childhood Murder They Erased

by James Patterson

The laser measure blinked fourteen feet, but the outside wall was eighteen. Four feet of her childhood home had been secretly walled off. Eleanor Vance is the invisible baby sister, managing the family estate and raising her troubled teenage nephew while her brilliant older brothers—a judge and a psychiatrist—run their empires. They've always treated her as fragile, managing her lifelong 'anxiety' with careful medication. But when a renovation reveals a hidden void containing a child's sleeping bag and a 1998 calendar, Eleanor realizes her brothers have spent decades covering up a neighborhood boy's murder. Worse, her daily 'anxiety' pills are actually memory suppressants prescribed by her own brother. Now trapped in a house holding a corpse, Eleanor must outsmart the powerful men who control her medical records and threaten to take her nephew, or become the final victim of the family's darkest secret.
