The addictive and compelling new thriller from the million-copy bestselling author of The Girl Before

A deliciously dark thriller set amongst the bright lights of New York from the bestselling author of The Girl Before and The Perfect Wife. A Sunday Times Book of the Month.

Claire Rodenburg, a young British actress, pays the rent on her New York apartment the only way she can: as a decoy for a detective agency, entrapping straying husbands. When a client is murdered in macabre circumstances, she agrees to help the police entice the dead woman's husband into revealing whether he's the killer. But as Claire gets closer to their quarry, she begins to realize that she's not the only one who's playing a part. And as she pursues the shadowy figure of a serial killer across the Internet and through the dark fantasies of a nineteenth-century poet, she has to immerse herself in her role more deeply than she ever thought possible...

Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules. After moving in, she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, met a mysterious death there - and starts to wonder if her own story will be a re-run of the girl before. As twist after twist catches the reader off guard, Emma's past and Jane's present become inexorably entwined in this tense, page-turning portrayal of psychological obsession

Ein traumhafter Landsitz. Ein Mann zwischen zwei Frauen. Ein Todesfall. Und eine Frage: Wer ist das nächste Opfer? Der spannende Psycho-Thriller vom internationalen Bestsellerautor – voller überraschender Twists und packend bis zum Schluss! Als die Geschwister Finn und Jess vom Tod ihres Vaters erfahren, sind sie nicht sonderlich betroffen. Die Scheidung ihrer Eltern liegt lange zurück, und Kontakt zum Vater, der nach Mallorca auswanderte und ein unkonventionelles Althippie-Leben führte, hatten sie ohnehin nicht. Nun erben sie seine heruntergekommene Finca, mitten in den idyllischen Hügeln der Mittelmeerinsel. Der einzige Haken: Ruensa, die neue Frau ihres Vaters, die dort noch lebt. Finn fliegt nach Mallorca, um die Sache möglichst schnell und sauber zu klären. Seine Überraschung ist groß, als er ein luxuriös renoviertes Anwesen vorfindet und die atemberaubende Roze, die erwachsene Tochter seiner Stiefmutter. Hals über Kopf verliebt sich Finn in die geheimnisvolle und so verletzlich wirkende Roze und will alles dafür tun, dass sie auf der Finca – und bei ihm – bleiben kann. Doch dann beginnt die Polizei, Fragen zum vermeintlichen Unfalltod seines Vaters zu stellen, und auch Finn wird unsicher. Welches dunkle Geheimnis aus ihrer Vergangenheit verbergen die beiden Frauen? Sind sie wirklich die hilflosen Opfer, die unverschuldet in diese Situation geraten sind? Oder wollen sie die Finca für sich – koste es, was es wolle?
