Thriller Psychological
A major debut novel of psychological suspense about a daring
art heist, a cat-and-mouse waiting game, and a small-town
girl's mesmerizing transformation On the grubby outskirts of Paris, Grace restores
bric-a-brac, mends teapots, re-sets gems. She calls herself
Julie, says she's from California, and slips back to a
rented room at night. Regularly, furtively, she checks the
hometown paper on the Internet. Home is Garland, Tennessee,
and there, two young men have just been paroled. One, she
married; the other, she's in love with. Both were jailed for
a crime that Grace herself planned in exacting detail. The
heist went bad-but not before she was on a plane to Prague
with a stolen canvas rolled in her bag. And so, in Paris,
begins a cat-and-mouse waiting game as Grace's web of
deception and lies unravels-and she becomes another young
woman entirely. Unbecoming is an intricately plotted and
psychologically nuanced heist novel that turns on suspense
and slippery identity. With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock and
Patricia Highsmith, Rebecca Scherm's mesmerizing debut is
sure to entrance fans of Gillian Flynn, Marisha Pessl, and
Donna Tartt.
