Thriller | Suspense
From the author of the USA Today bestselling novel, The Widowerโs Wife, comes an electrifying story of love and deceit. The truth can be darker than fiction. Liza Cole, a once-successful novelist whose career has seen better days, has one month to write the thriller that could land her back on the bestseller list. Meanwhile, sheโs struggling to start a family, but her husband is distracted by the disappearance of his best friend, Nick. As stresses weigh her down in her professional and personal lives, Liza escapes into writing the chilling exploits of her latest heroine, Beth. Beth, a new mother, suspects her husband is cheating on her while sheโs home caring for their newborn. Angry and betrayed, she aims to catch him in the act and make him pay for shattering the illusion of their perfect life. But before she realizes what sheโs doing, sheโs tossing the body of her husbandโs mistress into the East River. Then, the lines between Lizaโs fiction and her reality eerily blur. Nickโs body is dragged from the East River, and Lizaโs husband is arrested for his murder. Before her deadline is up, Liza will have to face up to the truths about the people around her, including her own. If she doesnโt, the end of her heroineโs story could be the end of her own.
