A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas.

What if...? In the ashes of a dead culture, a new world is born. After the world is destroyed and all memory of the past is lost, a time capsule is unearthed. In it is something called the New World Testament and a Torah: two writings that threaten to shake humankind down to its very core. It was a tough time for the human race. Reduced to small groups vying for recognition in a harsh environment, people struggle to survive after rediscovering religion. One society, the Union, will do anything to stop the religious neophytes whose most cherished belief is that Christ will be born in their time. Ardent, a Union vanguard trooper and a warrior, had orders to hunt down the Judeo-Christians, at whatever cost in lives. He has second thoughts when he meets Bandy, the love of his life, a Judeo-Christian. About the same time, a child is born: a baby boy named Jesus, the Second Coming of Christ. What if God is about second chances? What if this is the world's second chance? What if Christ isn't crucified this time? What if he is? This novel is a thought-provoking journey into the world of "WHAT IF...?" A New Day is Difeo's fourth novel. It's more than a fable or a fantasy; it is an epic imagining of a post-Apocalyptic world.
