What to expect
'To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer' GILLIAN FLYNN
'[Crime fiction's] biggest contemporary star' GUARDIAN
'One of the finest writers of contemporary crime fiction' DAILY MAIL
-------------------------------------------------------
She is me. And I am her.
Still traumatised by her brush with a psychopath, Detective Cassie Maddox transfers out of the Murder squad and starts a relationship with fellow detective Sam O'Neill.
When he calls her to the scene of his new case, she is shocked to find that the murdered girl is her doppelganger. What's more, her ID shows she is Lexie Madison - the identity Cassie used, years ago, as an undercover detective.
With no leads, no suspects and no clues to Lexie's real identity, Cassie's old boss spots the opportunity of a lifetime: send Cassie undercover in her place, to tempt the killer out of hiding to finish the job.
