Summary
An intricately plotted thriller from a major new voice in suspense fiction that will keep you guessing to the very end.

A happy marriage. A beautiful family. A dream home. So what makes lawyer Emily Coleman get up one morning and walk right out of her life to start again as someone new?

Deliberately losing herself in London, Emily quickly transforms herself into Cat. She finds a room in a shared house in North London, and a job as a receptionist at a hip advertising agency. Finding easy kinship with the fun-loving Angel, her new best friend, Cat begins to live on the edge, giddy with the euphoria of freedom.

Cat has buried any trace of her old self so well, no one knows how to find her. But she can't bury the past. And she cannot outrun the ghosts that haunt her. And soon, she'll have to face the truth of what she's done—a shocking revelation that may push her one step too far. (From the publisher.)
