A breath-taking thriller about a wealthy housewife who
successfully conceals her dark past until a true-crime podcast and a photo
posted on social media send her running across Europe, with a faded rock star
by her side and extremely dangerous enemies on her trail. Anna McLean loves to revel in life's unsavory
details. When she's keeping up appearances as an upper-class Edinburgh
housewife, there's no better escape than other people's sordid stories retold
in true-crime podcasts. Until the day it all falls apart. A new podcast turns out to have a connection
to Anna's own dark past--the secret history she's taken great pains to conceal.
Hours later, her husband announces he's leaving her--for her own best friend.
And when the best friend's husband--who happens to be former rock star Fin
Cohen--shows up on Anna's front stoop, a nosy neighbour plasters their photo
all over the internet. Her cover well and truly blown, Anna's only choice is to
run--and take Fin along for his own protection.
