內容介紹

☆作者Robyn Harding是加拿大暢銷排行榜第一名的作家,以五部懸疑小說最為著名。

☆ 《暢銷小說《派對》(The Party)作者羅賓·哈丁最新作品,這是一部曲折離奇,關於友誼、報應與背叛的故事。

 

一名倒霉的廚師想逃離危難的過去,而她從海中救起的富有女人,卻將她拉進重重的黑暗祕密與謊言之中。

 

喜愛珀拉·霍金斯( Paula Hawkins)、梅根·米蘭達(Megan Miranda)與莎莉·拉佩納(Shari Lapena)的讀者也會對這本書愛不釋讀。

 

格麗佛( Lee Gulliver)從沒想過自己會露宿街頭——沒有人想過——但當她工作的餐廳在大流行時倒閉,債台高築、除了一些衣物和一台豐田汽車一無所有的她,決定要從頭來過。在西雅圖,她把車停靠在海邊一個僻靜的地方,仰望著沿岸價值數百萬美元的房地產。她滿足地隱匿行跡,計劃著自己的下一步——直到一個清晨,她看到一個在哭泣的女人投入海中。格麗佛把這個女人拖回水面,但得到的不是感激而是怒火。

 

這個溺水的女人,海瑟(Hazel)繞著她打轉,說自己想要死,因為她困在一個有毒、虐待的婚姻當中,是自己家中的囚犯,格麗佛毀了她逃離生活的機會。但由於那場相遇,使得兩人形成一份幾乎不可能卻親密的友誼,分享著彼此最陰暗的祕密。很快地,海瑟就把格麗佛捲入逃離丈夫的黑暗計劃,但是計劃完全不如預期。格麗佛猛然發現自己的處境比過去更加危險。

 

她正走入犯罪現場——而一切都在鏡頭前被拍攝下來。在格麗佛急著拼湊出海瑟真正計劃的同時,她也被海瑟的背叛所傷。海瑟是個真摯關懷的朋友嗎?或是一個操弄大師?在一系列令人震驚的逆轉中,海瑟與格麗佛認識到只有透過彼此,她們才能找到真相——並擊倒想要摧毀她們的人。
