At a tragic funeral in Paris, two perfect strangers find the one thing they have in common: Charlie Price, presumed dead. As the quiet malice of Lena and Aubrey's 'boyfriend' reveals itself, they begin to forge a tenuous bond. When the two set off on a mind-bending hunt for clues in London, Mumbai, Kerala and Bangkok, the truths they uncover force them to question what's worse: Charlie's death or the possibility that he might still be alive. Only one thing is clear - no one is to be trusted. 'As the layers of each character's duplicity are carefully revealed, the unearthing of blackmail, revenge, red herrings, and more makes for a thrilling and immersive tale of manipulation as wily as Charlie himself.' - Publishers Weekly
