From the bestselling author of The Party comes a deliciously twisted
story of friendship, retribution, and betrayal following a homeless
woman fleeing a dangerous past--and the wealthy society wife she
saves.
Most anticipated by Goodreads and Indigo
Lee Gulliver never thought she'd find herself living on the streets--no
one ever does--but when her restaurant fails, and she falls deeper into
debt, she leaves her old life behind with nothing but her clothes and
her Toyota Corolla. In Seattle, she parks in a secluded spot by the
beach to lay low and plan her next move--until early one morning, she
sees a sobbing woman throw herself into the ocean. Lee hauls the woman
back to the surface, but instead of appreciation, she is met with fury.
The drowning woman, Hazel, tells her that she wanted to die, that she's
trapped in a toxic, abusive marriage, that she's a prisoner in her own
home. Lee has thwarted her one chance to escape her life.
Out of options, Hazel retreats to her gilded cage, and Lee thinks she's
seen the last of her, until her unexpected return the next morning.
Bonded by disparate but difficult circumstances, the women soon strike
up a close and unlikely friendship. And then one day, Hazel makes a
shocking request: she wants Lee to help her disappear. It'll be easy,
Hazel assures her, but Lee soon learns that nothing is as it seems, and
that Hazel may not be the friend Lee thought she was.
