Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome by Joseph Knox introduces readers to Lynch, a mysterious grifter recruited by the affluent Pierce family to impersonate their missing son in a bid to uncover the truth about Heydon. This gripping, fast-paced thriller promises suspense and intrigue from start to finish.

'When you're living a lie, you find it's best to avoid close attachments...'

Lynch, a burned-out con-artist, arrives in London, penniless and haunted by his past failures. A chance encounter with Bobbie, a rehab-bound heiress, presents a dangerous opportunity when she momentarily mistakes him for her missing brother, Heydon.

Heydon was a troubled young man who vanished five years ago, leaving behind a car parked on a bridge overlooking the Thames. Unsettled by Bobbie's tale, Lynch initially tries to resist the lure of deception.

However, once Bobbie departs for rehab, Lynch finds himself drawn to the opulent Pierce family home. There, he meets Miranda, Bobbie’s formidable mother, who, recognizing the resemblance, proposes that Lynch assume Heydon’s identity to flush out his killer.

As Lynch steps into Heydon's shoes, he inadvertently awakens dark forces. Too late, he realises that Heydon's paranoia was justified. Someone was indeed tracking his every move, and they are willing to kill to keep their secret.

For the first time, Lynch finds himself in a perilous situation he cannot simply con his way out of.
