Karen og Tom er lykkelig nygift. De bor i et fint hus, og selv om de ønsker seg barn, har de foreløpig friheten til å gjøre hva de vil. Men en dag er ikke Karen der da Tom kommer hjem fra jobb. Bilen hennes er borte, men døren er ulåst og både lommebok og mobil ligger igjen. Etter en stund kommer politiet på døren og forteller at hans kone er på sykehus. Hun har vært med i en trafikkulykke i en veldig frynsete del av byen. Karen har sluppet unna ulykken med noen få skrammer, men hun husker ingenting. Ikke hva hun gjorde eller hvorfor hun befant seg i det skumle strøket. Da hun kommer hjem, merker hun at ikke alt er som det skal være. Noen har vært i huset deres. Politiet tror ikke på henne, de tror hun prøver å skjule noe. En fremmed i huset er en psykologisk spenningsroman fra forfatteren bak bestselgeren Naboparet. «Lapena lykkes med å lage mye krypende uhygge og samtidig faktisk litt humor, om enn svart, i en beretning som veksler fra den ene til den andre fortelleren. Språket er uten fiksfakseri.» Jarle Natland, Stavanger Aftenblad
