Harriet Brandegee-Pashkin is good at patterns.
When her closest friend, Imogen, shows her a series of anonymous texts from someone who seems to be watching her life in Richmond too closely, Harriet sees what Imogen cannot: the cadence of the messages feels familiar. Too familiar.
The possibility that the watcher may be Harriet's own younger brother, Odran, forces her into an impossible position. Protect her friend. Protect her brother. Tell the truth too soon and risk losing the chance to intervene. Wait too long and risk letting the situation become something worse.
As the evidence builds, Harriet must work quietly with a psychiatrist, a clinician, and a detective to move the case toward a coordinated response ? one that treats the stalking seriously while recognizing the mental-health crisis underneath it.
Little Brother is a quiet domestic thriller about family loyalty, friendship, mental illness, stalking, and the terrible burden of doing the right thing before anyone is ready to thank you for it.
