Alexa Wú is a brilliant, yet darkly self-aware, young woman whose life is manipulated by a series of alternate personalities.
One woman, many selves. But which one is telling the truth?
Only three people know.
Her therapist
Her best friend
Her stepmother
When her best friend falls into danger, Alexa is drawn into London’s cruel underbelly to save her.
But will the truth lead to self-discovery, or to self-destruction?
The dark suspense story of the mind that will hook you in and keep you guessing — perfect for fans of Emma Stonex’s The Lamplighters, Sarah Pinborough’s Behind Her Eyes and A M Homes’ In a Country of Mothers.
