The wildly twisty and devilishly clever new thriller from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Plot.
Not many first-time novelists get a profile in the New York Times. Then again, few first-time novelists come with the backstory of Anna Williams-Bonner: recent bride of a wildly successful writer who took his own life even as his fame seemed on the ascent. Anna's book is climbing the bestseller lists. But when someone leaves a cryptic note for her at a book signing, she realises that not all the attention is positive. For years, Anna's been keeping secrets about her past: what if someone knows the truth? She will do anything to keep what she values most: the right to her own story.
