Viac o knihe

A Boston Globe Best Book of 2018, this gripping domestic thriller explores the harrowing choice between loyalty and self-preservation. When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner in East Hampton, she thought their romance would be fleeting. Instead, they married the following summer, and Angela saw it as a chance to start anew, moving to Manhattan with her son and leaving her tragic past behind. Six years later, Jason, now a bestselling author and media figure, draws Angela into the spotlight she sought to avoid. Their seemingly perfect life shatters when a college intern accuses Jason, followed by a more serious allegation from another woman, Kerry Lynch. Jason maintains his innocence, and Angela believes him, but when Kerry mysteriously disappears, Angela is compelled to reassess both her husband and the women she chose to doubt. This highly anticipated sequel to Burke’s Edgar-nominated work delves into the lengths a wife will go to protect her husband, questioning whether she will stand by him even as he risks pulling her down with him.
