Don't be the last to discover the twist that a million readers didn't see coming.

The Sunday Times Thriller of the Month, soon to become a major TV series.

_______________

You meet a stranger at a party. She looks like you. Even has your name.

But she isn't a stranger. She's a warning...

Evie Porter has everything a girl could want: a doting boyfriend and a house with a picket fence. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn't exist.

First comes the identity. Once given a name and location, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the target: Ryan Sumner.

The last piece of the puzzle is the job. But this job feels different. Ryan has gotten under her skin. And when a woman walks into town using the one thing Evie has been desperate to protect - Evie's real identity - she can't afford to make a mistake. As Evie's past begins to catch up with her, can she stay one step ahead to save her future?
