In this atmospheric psychological thriller set between the Scottish Highlands and London, a ghostwriter is drawn into a chilling mystery when her lover—believed dead—suddenly reappears in a suspenseful novel that blends gothic tension, identity twists, and slow-burn intrigue, “highly recommended for fans of Vertigo and readers who enjoy the intricately plotted novels of Ruth Ware, Sarah Pearse, and Riley Sager” (Booklist).
When Maddy Wight is hired to ghostwrite the memoir of a renowned cosmetic surgeon, she seizes the chance to rebuild her career. But at the doctor’s isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands, something feels off. The reclusive Angela Reynolds guards her secrets closely, while her enigmatic business partner, Scott, draws Maddy into an uneasy connection.
As unsettling incidents mount—objects disappearing, strange markings appearing, and a constant sense of being watched—Maddy begins to question everything around her. When tragedy strikes and Scott is reported dead, she returns to London determined to move on.
Until she sees him again.
Haunted by grief and doubt, Maddy is pulled into a twisting search for the truth. Is Scott alive—or is something far more disturbing at play?
Dark, elegant, and full of shocking turns, this literary thriller explores obsession, identity, illusion, and the dangerous allure of reinvention.
