- Synopsis
- A psychological thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author: &“No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah&” (Liane Moriarty). Naomi Jenkins, a successful professional woman prone to panic attacks, has a terrible secret she&’s been keeping for three years. Also secret is Naomi&’s current relationship with Robert Haworth, who is married, albeit unhappily. When Robert doesn&’t show up for one of their trysts, Naomi fears for him—but the police don&’t take it seriously, since Robert&’s wife claims he isn&’t missing. Naomi is desperate, and comes up with a plan: If she convinces the police that Robert is a danger to others, they will have to track him down. Using details from her own troubled past, she spins a story for them—but twists and turns lie ahead that she never expected. &“Naomi&’s concern for her married lover&’s well-being grows when his wife insists he is fine, just away. Naomi uses the story of a rape from her past to get the police to sit up and take notice. What makes this novel work so well is that more than one character has a bit of a screw loose—even the detectives on the case are grappling with some crippling personal issues—and it takes the full ride of the novel to find out who is playing whom.&” —Time Out
