About the author
Riley Sager is the pen name of American thriller writer Todd Ritter. His novels revisit recognizable suspense forms—summer camps, locked houses, infamous crimes, Gothic mansions—and change the reader's footing through competing explanations.
The Only One Left is a Gothic mystery built from an infamous-crime rhyme, an unreliable confession, and a mansion whose architecture stores family secrets. Riley Sager keeps both caregiver and patient under suspicion until the past can no longer be contained upstairs.
Where to start
Start with The Only One Left. A disgraced caregiver is sent to a crumbling coastal mansion where the woman blamed for a family massacre can answer questions only by typing.
