About
She saved a woman from drowning. Now she wishes she hadn't.
From the bestselling author of The Arrangement comes a gripping psychological thriller about friendship, survival, betrayal-and the dangerous secrets people will kill to protect.
Lee Gulliver never imagined she'd be homeless.
After her restaurant collapses and mounting debt destroys everything she's built, Lee retreats to the only shelter she has left: her car. Living quietly by the beach, she keeps to herself-until the night she sees a woman walk into the ocean.
Lee rescues her, expecting gratitude. Instead, she's met with anger.
The woman is Hazel-a wealthy society wife trapped in a life she desperately wants to escape. What begins as a chance encounter soon becomes an unlikely friendship. Hazel offers Lee companionship, generosity, and a glimpse into a world of privilege she thought she'd lost forever.
Then Hazel asks for a favour.
She wants to disappear.
Drawn into Hazel's glamorous but troubled life, Lee soon discovers that beneath the luxury lies a web of lies, manipulation, and betrayal. As shocking secrets come to light, she realizes Hazel may not be the victim she claims to be-and that helping her could cost Lee everything.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Sally Hepworth, Liane Moriarty, and B.A. Paris, this addictive domestic suspense novel delivers twisting revelations, morally complex characters, and a jaw-dropping finale that will keep listeners hooked until the very last minute. Robyn Harding is the author of numerous international bestsellers, including The Party, The Arrangement and The Drowning Woman. She has also written and executive produced an independent film. She lives in Vancouver, BC, with her family and two cute but deadly rescue chihuahuas.
