An addictive, twisty, page-turning thriller that will have you hooked When the world’s hottest author goes missing without a trace, will the truth be stranger than fiction?
Six weeks ago, bestselling author Angelica Hastings vanished, along with her husband. Her latest book – a darkly twisted romance where the lines between love and obsession are blurred – feels like her most personal work yet, leading to fan theories that it’s a cry for help. So when she disappears without trace, social media explodes, driven to fever pitch by the fact that Angelica has always kept herself hidden. No interviews. No photos. No answers.
But as a journalist and a podcaster pursue separate investigations into Angelica’s disappearance, they discover a string of chilling truths about Angelica’s real identity.
It seems that the darkness in Angelica’s books might be closer to truth than fiction, but is she covering up a murder – or revealing one? Is Angelica Hastings a victim, a mastermind – or something far more dangerous?
An unputdownable, inventive thriller for fans of Mary Kubica and Alice Feeney.
