_______________

You meet a stranger at a party. She looks like you. Even has your name.
But she isn’t a stranger. She’s a warning…

Evie Porter has everything a girl could want: a doting boyfriend and a house with a picket fence. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

First comes the identity. Once given a name and location, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the target: Ryan Sumner.

The last piece of the puzzle is the job. But this job feels different. Ryan has gotten under her skin. And when a woman walks into town using the one thing Evie has been desperate to protect – Evie’s real identity – she can’t afford to make a mistake. As Evie’s past begins to catch up with her, can she stay one step ahead to save her future?

Publisher Review

Riveting -- Lucy Foley This has everything you want in the thriller -- Reese Witherspoon Twisty and exhilarating -- Sunday Times Buckle up . . . the best cat and mouse suspense I've read in years -- Lisa Gardner Clever, twisty, and suspenseful, First Lie Wins kept me on my toes right up to the satisfying conclusion -- Diane Chamberlain What a box of tricks! First Lie Wins flickers past like a shadow-play: just when you think you've worked out what you're seeing, the shapes shift, the scene transforms, and - hold on - maybe you had it wrong a moment ago? Cool and clever and full-on fun, the sort of slippery high-stakes now-you-see-me-now-you-don't thriller that few novelists are bold enough to attempt these days. Pick it up, please. This is a good one -- A.J. Finn Smart and sharp, fast-paced and twisty, this kept me on the edge of my seat -- Megan Miranda Wildly inventive, diabolically clever -- Julie Clark The most suspenseful game of deception I've ever read. Brilliant! -- Elle Cosimano Unexpected and pacey -- Harriet Tyce An absolute CRACKER of a book -- Rachel Abbott I devoured it. Absolutely brilliant -- Heidi Perks Strikingly ingenious -- Daily Mail A propulsive, note-perfect thriller -- Cesca Major Twisty and fast-paced -- Observer Mind-blowingly brilliant -- Sun Brilliant. I read it in one sitting. If you love twisty thrillers, this one is for you -- Sarah Morgan The kind of jaw-droppingly twisty read you stay up all night for -- I News An outstanding psychological thriller... this could well be the best read of 2024 -- SHOTs Magazine Edgy and smart -- New York Times This will have you turning the pages at speed -- Prima Magazine A great title to choose for a book club of thriller lovers -- Glamour A break neck thrill ride -- Crime Monthly A clever blend of GONE GIRL and KILLING EVE... Terribly ingenious and a gripping read, this is one to savour -- Crime Time Breakneck pace, non-stop action, genius premise. One of the best thrillers I've read this year -- Andrea Mara
