About this listen

 SHE HELPED A PERFECT A STRANGER. SHE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS THE PERFECT KILLER...

'Steve Cavanagh's twists hit you between the eyes. You never see them coming' ANTHONY HOROWITZ
'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.

'There is a great pleasure to watching someone be clever and cunning as they face up to baddies, and that's what we get with Eddie: a good heart, few scruples, and plenty of thrills and spills on the way to the denouement.' OBSERVER

I love Eddie Flynn and his much of buddies. Eddie is a cross between Jack Reacher and a John Grisham character, with some running g conman moves and slight of hand. I can't wait for Steve's next book. These stories are hard to put down.

Awesome, gripping, twisting g story once again from Steve Cavanagh.
