英文简介:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting new psychological thriller in which two women–one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist–go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse.
Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.
When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled.
That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room–and that nothing is as it seems.
Not only does the arms dealer not exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection.
What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye.
In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation–and now her job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up.
Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives–whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.
中文简介:
出自《6 点 20 分的男人》一书的纽约时报畅销书第一作者，这是一部扭曲的新心理惊悚片，其中两名女性——一位是前侦探，另一位是危险的骗子——在一场激动人心的游戏中正面交锋的猫和老鼠。
米奇·吉布森 (Mickey Gibson)，单身母亲和前侦探，过着与许多母亲相似的忙碌生活：兼顾两个年幼孩子的需求和她在 ProEye 远程工作的工作任务，ProEye 是一家全球调查公司，负责追查富有的税收和信贷秘籍。
当 Mickey 接到一位名叫 Arlene Robinson 的同事打来的电话时，她对 Arlene 提出的不同寻常的要求视若无睹，要求她清点一名欺骗 ProEye 的客户并逃离的军火商的空置房屋。
也就是说，直到她到达豪宅，在一个密室里发现一具尸体——一切都不像看起来的那样。
不仅军火商不存在，而且谋杀案的受害者竟然是哈里·兰霍恩，一个与暴徒有联系的人，他曾经是证人保护组织的成员。
更重要的是，没有一个叫 Arlene Robinson 的人在 ProEye 工作。
眨眼间，吉布森成为了一起谋杀案调查的主要嫌疑人——现在她的工作也岌岌可危，直到她证明自己是被陷害的。
不久之后，吉布森与一位无名、隐秘的过去和不明动机的杰出女性展开了一场斗智斗勇——其结局既神秘又致命。
