The Imposter

He doesn't just want your identity. He wants your life...

Dr Bloom is faced with her most challenging case yet as she races to catch a highly unpredictable murderer.

No one sees him coming.

A stock-market trader is pushed from a high-rise balcony and falls to his death on the street below. The only clue the police can find is a box of matches.

No one survives for long.

The decomposing body of a member of the Saudi Royal Family is discovered in a car. Evidence suggests the killer took the man's life, then stole his identity, wore his clothes and lived in his hotel room—before vanishing into thin air like smoke.

Nothing but matchsticks are left behind.

Dr Bloom realizes the only thing linking these murders is a trail of burnt matches and broken lives. Time is running out—and if she isn't careful, she might be the next to burn...

Coming soon and available to pre-order now!

Stylish, glamorous, and clever, The Imposter had me hooked, right from its killer opening - Leona Deakin is the real deal. Andrea Mara
