From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel:
"Tainted love, jealousy and, brilliant revenge--this book has got the
lot" (New Woman).
Thirty-eight-year-old Jules Sampson is barely getting by as a working
actor in London--until she gets a job as a stand-in for American movie
star Lila Dune. Being the same age and in the same business, the two hit
it off, but their careers couldn't be more different. Jules may not be
as beautiful and successful as Lila, but she's a far better actor. Her
impersonation of Lila is spot-on, and the two even slip into each
other's lives. It's all just fun and games.
But Jules has made a dreadful miscalculation--one that takes her already
simmering resentment of Lila to the boiling point. Consumed by jealousy,
Jules is ready for her close-up--and no one is better prepared than her
for her next big role . . .
Taking readers on a whirlwind of madness and obsession from London to
New York to Los Angeles, "Moggach's examination of the unbalanced mind
is spellbinding, and the characters horribly believable. . . . This is
[her] best novel yet" (Options).
"Compulsively readable . . . a triumph." --Sunday Express
"Intelligent, persuasive, sensuous, perceptive . . . what an
accomplishment!" --Fay Weldon, author of The Life and Loves of a She
Devil
"An exciting, deftly executed thriller with considerable psychological
intrigue." -- Publishers Weekly
"With a marvelous snap of a windup, an absorbing, inventive chiller,
complete with undertones of a sour, wry humor." --Kirkus Reviews
