An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, The Unknown is a chilling thriller from Riley Sager about a century-old disappearance, an isolated island and a mystery that may have a supernatural explanation.
In 1926, five women vanished from New Avalon, a remote island on Lake Faraday in Vermont. At the time, the island was home to a commune of spiritual mediums. The only trace of the missing women was five dresses hanging from the branches of an old oak tree, one for each woman who disappeared.
Some believed they simply left. Others suspected murder. But a diary written by one of the missing women, Daisy Rue, fuelled a darker theory: that a séance had summoned something supernatural that took them one by one.
One hundred years later, struggling actress Marin Keane lands a role in a major film about the unsolved mystery. The opportunity comes with an unusual requirement: a weeklong research trip to New Avalon alongside her castmates, including legendary actress Violet Wright and acclaimed director Ronan Peters.
Soon after they arrive, strange noises echo through the night and mysterious symbols begin appearing around the island. Then a sudden health emergency leaves Marin and the others stranded, and people begin disappearing once again.
As fear and suspicion grow, Marin turns to Daisy’s diary for answers. To survive, she must uncover what really happened on New Avalon a century ago and determine whether the danger they face is human, supernatural, or something else entirely.
