In this twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before, an actress plays both sides of a murder investigation.

" A] rich, nuanced, highly literary take on the Gone Girl theme."--Booklist (starred review)

Claire Wright is desperate. A British drama student in New York without a green card, she takes the only job she can get: working for a firm of divorce lawyers, posing as an easy pickup in hotel bars to entrap straying husbands. But then the game changes.

When one of her targets becomes the suspect in a murder investigation, the police ask Claire to use her acting chops to lure him into a confession. From the start, she questions the part she's being asked to play: Is Patrick Fogler a killer? Or is there more to this setup than she's being told?

Claire will soon realize she is playing the deadliest role of her life.

My goodness what a ride that was! My head is still spinning from the constant twists and turns and jumps that happen in this story... and I loved it! I love it when a book takes you by surprise and keeps you guessing and thinking right until the very end. Thi she book ticks all of those boxes and more.

Claire Wright is a British drama student in the US running from her past. She is also working without a green card. To make money to pay her rent she works for a lawyer to entrap straying husbands..... a job that she is very good at. One night for the first time the husband turns her down. The next day the wife is found murdered in a hotel room. The police contact Claire and ask for her help to force a confession from the husband Patrick Folger. This is when things begin to get dangerous for Claire, but it is role that she relishes .

This is an original story, that is so addictive and will have you turning the pages to see what could possibly happen next
