A gripping new psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Message Deleted

Emily is ready to leave the lies behind. With a beautiful new home and money in the bank, her partner Oliver promises their life as con artists is over. Orchard Lane seems perfect — friendly neighbours, quiet dinners, a fresh start.

But something isn’t right. Unsettling messages arrive. Emily feels watched. Oliver starts acting strangely.

As paranoia grows and secrets resurface, murder strikes the street. And Emily realises there’s only one thing she knows for certain about her husband:

He’s a very good liar.
