Publisher's Summary

The Times Thrillers of the Year 2020.

The Times Book of the Month.

Gabriela is a senior negotiator in the Foreign Office. When she returns to her young family after a seven-month stint in Moscow, something doesn’t seem right.

Isobel is a journalist on the local paper in Camden. After witnessing a violent attack, she starts to investigate. But someone saw her watching, and is making themselves known in increasingly frightening ways.

As Gabriela’s life begins to unravel, Isobel gets closer to the truth and the two women’s lives converge in this deeply chilling examination of deceit.

Critic Reviews

"A seriously stylish, hugely compelling mystery: Charlotte Philby redefines a male-dominated genre with her brilliantly complex female characters. I was utterly gripped." (Lucy Foley)

"A Double Life confirms Charlotte Philby as the master of a sub-genre she basically invented, dealing in the dangerous area where working motherhood and international espionage collide. Heart-breaking, gripping and always beautifully written, I can’t wait to see what she does next." (Erin Kelly)

"A Double Life is a wonderful novel." (Holly Watt, winner of the 2019 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger)
