Synopsis: From an author who Stephen King calls &“an absolute master&” comes a &“heart-clutching psychological thriller&” (People) about a young female police officer facing danger on all fronts—from a clever victim of abuse, skeptical colleagues on the force, and even her own father.Philomena McCarthy is an ambitious police officer with the elite Metropolitan Police in London, responding to a domestic violence call. Tempe Brown is a bloodied young woman and the mistress of a decorated and intimidating London detective, Darren Goodall. Philomena and Tempe strike up a tentative friendship, determined to protect each other from Goodall, but something isn&’t quite right about the stories Tempe tells and the secrets she keeps. Yet the young officer is drawn into Tempe&’s world, unsure of what is real or invented. After a bungled break-in and an unsolved murder, Philomena finds herself trapped—with her career, her impending wedding, and her very survival in doubt. Robotham&’s brilliant ability to render complex characters, both good and bad, keeps readers unsure of whom to trust, &“maintain[ing] an air of excruciating suspense&” (The Washington Post)—until the very last page.
