You thought you knew who you were. A stranger knows better.

You've left the city--and the career that nearly destroyed you--for a fresh start on the coast. But trouble begins when your daughter withdraws, after her new best friend, George, is unfairly expelled from school.

You beg the principal to reconsider, only to be told that George hasn't been expelled. Because there is, and was, no George.

This is Justine's story. This is Justine's family. This is Justine's game. But it could be yours.

"Mesmerizing! Sophie Hannah puts the 'psycho' in psychological suspense with this riveting thriller involving the ultimate closed-door crime scene--and a narrator who is both more and less than what she seems." -- Lisa Gardner on Woman With a Secret

"Like watching a nightmare come to life." -- Tana French

Praise for The Monogram Murders: "I was thrilled." -- Gillian Flynn on The Monogram Murders
