'A low note of dread rings through this thriller from the very first page. Beneath Eva Jurczyk's gorgeous rendition of Paris, something terrible is stirring. A compulsive, breathless read.' BEA SETTON, author of Berlin

'A brilliantly structured and richly atmospheric thriller about love, passion, and deceit that will sweep you away into the romance of Paris, then leave you questioning everyone and everything, including yourself.' KIMBERLEY McCREIGHT, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else's Husband

---

Genie St. Onge has always been unlucky in love – but that doesn’t stop her falling head over heels for Jacob Ford, a handsome young American she meets when travelling in the Philippines. Their whirlwind romance soon takes them to Paris, where they rent a luxurious apartment and continue their love affair.

Until Jacob disappears.

Desperate to find him, Genie turns to the police and her neighbours to help with her search.
Yet under their scrutiny, it becomes clear that Jacob and Genie’s love story isn’t quite what she made it out to be – and perhaps Jacob isn’t who he seems to be, either . . .

Set in a richly drawn Paris, this deftly plotted, character driven thriller kept me guessing from the first page to the last. Exploring a romantic dalliance that goes disastrously wrong, the novel unfolds through a series of interviews, each perspective making you not only question the one that came before, but yourself. A chilling sense of unease pervades every page and Jurczyk’s accomplished and intelligent prose only amplifies that paranoia as the book ratchets up the tension to a stunning conclusion. A must read!
