Book description
Tana French follows her stunningly accomplished debut, In the Woods,
with an equally compelling psychological mystery that confirms her place
as one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.
Still traumatised by her brush with a psychopath, Detective Cassie
Maddox transfers out of the Murder squad and starts a relationship
with fellow detective Sam O'Neill. When he calls her to the scene of
his new case, she is shocked to find that the murdered girl is her
double. What's more, her ID shows she is Lexie Madison - the identity
Cassie used, years ago, as an undercover detective. With no leads, no
suspects and no clues to Lexie's real identity, Cassie's old boss
spots the opportunity of a lifetime: send Cassie undercover in her
place, to tempt the killer out of hiding to finish the job.
