About ‘Girl In The Dark’
‘Girl In The Dark’ is an irresistible combination of suspense, and heart-wrenching family drama. At the heart of the narrative is a brother-sister pair who are unaware of one another’s existence for decades, until they are united by a gruesome murder case. Iris is a successful lawyer and single mother, juggling a son with behavior issues and a crushing workload. By complete chance, she discovers the existence of her brother, Ray Boelens, who is autistic and in prison for brutally murdering his neighbor and her young daughter.
When a horrified Iris visits her brother behind bars, she is barraged with conflictions. She is faced with a man who resembles her own son. A solitary and chronically lonely man who loves his saltwater fish tank, yearns for his past life as a baker, and vehemently maintains his innocence. He is different from those around him, and certainly harbors obsessive tendencies, but could this seemingly naïve man truly be a cold-blooded killer?
Told in the alternating voices of Iris and Ray, ‘Girl In The Dark’is a spellbinding thriller about murder, lies, unrequited love, and the complicated bonds of family that persist even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
