A chilling psychological thriller about identity, family secrets, and the life someone else decided you owed them—perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Riley Sager. Featuring an ironclad alibi, a decades-long grudge, and a twist that recontextualizes everything you thought you knew.
The woman I keep seeing has my face. My height. My hair. Even my birthmark—just on the opposite side.
I don't know who she is. But the police are starting to think they do.
A woman is dead. The DNA evidence points straight at me. And a genealogy app I signed up for on a whim has just returned a result that makes no sense—a first-degree relative I've never heard of, with a blank profile and a username that's just a string of numbers.
I have a perfect alibi. I know I didn't do this.
But someone with my face did.
The deeper I dig, the more I find. A family secret buried thirty-six years ago. A pattern of loss that didn't start with the dead woman—it started with my parents, two and a half years ago, on a wet road outside Nashville.
That wasn't an accident.
Neither is any of this.
Someone has been watching my life from the outside for a very long time. She knows my schedule, my neighborhood, my husband's secrets. She knows exactly how much I have—and exactly what it would cost me to lose it.
I thought finding her would give me answers.
I didn't think finding her would put me in danger.
