🔥 Don’t be the last to discover the twist that a million readers didn’t see coming 🔥

The Sunday Times Thriller of the Month, soon to become a major TV series.
_______________

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?

Reviews

Buckle up . . . the best cat and mouse suspense I've read in years
<b>Lisa Gardner</b>

<b>Elle Cosimano</b>
Clever, twisty, and suspenseful, First Lie Wins kept me on my toes right up to the satisfying conclusion
<b>Diane Chamberlain</b>
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
