**THE EXPLOSIVE NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR**

The perfect holiday. The perfect crime...

When Ali has the chance to stay at a beautiful house in the south of France, she jumps at it.

But not everything is as it seems.

Surrounded by a group of wealthy friends, Ali blends expertly into the background.

She's watching them all.

And she isn't the only one interested.

The heat rises. The pool shimmers. Secrets are exposed.

And Ali must face up to the biggest lie of all: herself.
