'This guy is the real deal. Trust me' LEE CHILD
'An absolute page turner' SHARI LAPENA
'A fantastic thriller writer' MARK BILLINGHAM

Elly Parker had everything.
Perfect husband. Perfect apartment. Perfect friends and the perfect job.
As an internet celebrity - famed for her random acts of kindness - everyone knew it.
So when a betrayal causes her to lose it all, millions of people are watching.

But even at her lowest, Elly will always help someone in need.
Which makes her the perfect target for a sadistic game.
Because as she soon learns, you can never trust a stranger - and a seemingly random encounter plunges her into a nightmare worse than she ever imagined.

The only person she can turn to is conman turned trial lawyer Eddie Flynn, who must take on a case where nothing is what it seems. With the most cruelly ingenious mind manipulating events from the shadows, everyone is in danger - including Eddie and his family.

I have read all the Eddie Flynn books and they never disappoint. As usual, I didn’t want this to end. Racing pace with twists and turns. Eddie and his crew are now like old friends.
I so wish there was more than one new book a year from Mr Cavanagh.
Highly recommend!

Utterly brilliant once again!

Steven Cavanagh did it again. Can’t fault him. Looking forward to the next one.
You don’t have to be familiar with the rest of the Eddie Flynn novels this can work its own.
Word of warning though - you might not be so trusting of strangers after listening to this.

Brilliant
