“You need to come right now. I think he is going to kill me.”

Rushing to my friend Samantha’s house after her terrified late night phone call, I find her hysterical and begging me to help her. Before I know it, I’ve grabbed the knife from the kitchen counter and her partner Ari is lying on the floor in a pool of blood…

But something is wrong. By the time the police arrive, Samantha has vanished. The officers tell me that there is no record of Samantha or Ari anywhere. The woman I thought was my friend has been living a double life. Ice shoots down my spine as I realise she has tricked me into killing a perfect stranger.

As the police slip the handcuffs on my wrists, I know I’ve made a terrible mistake. By protecting a woman I never really knew at all, I’ve destroyed my life. Who is Samantha really, and why did she make me do this? She’s taken everything from me, but she has no idea how far I will go to get the truth…

A gripping and page-turning psychological thriller absolutely packed with twists. Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Frieda McFadden and Daniel Hurst.
