Aubrey Glass vanished after a party. No one saw her leave. No one knew where she went. And no one thought to suspect the quiet boy sitting in the back of the cafeteria, taking notes.

It's a story.

But the real question is:
Who's been controlling the story all along?
A psychological thriller told through chilling narration, obsessive details, and an unforgettable final twist-The Quiet One will leave you questioning everything you think you know about guilt, innocence, and the ones who go unseen.
