Summary
The Silent Patient meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in this elegant and twisty debut thriller. Coming soon and available to pre-order now!
Famous film star Lila Crayne is America's Sweetheart: she's generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. A golden girl. She and her fiancé, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning New York apartment, and are embarking on a new movie: a modern feminist adaptation of a classic twentieth-century novel.
To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins work with charming and accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila's impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch - and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, no one is quite who they seem, and before long, careers, reputations and lives are in danger of being irrevocably destroyed . . .
'Wildly imaginative, very dark' --Joyce Carol Oates, author of Butcher
'[A] stunning debut novel. The story sweeps us into the intoxicating world of movies and magic, seduction and betrayal' --Blair Hurley, author of Minor Prophets

Reviews
Wildly imaginative, very dark . . . filled with surprises, unpredictable in its denouement, this audacious first novel is a subversive and highly entertaining exploration of the theme of ‘romance’ itself
