She can’t remember. Someone made sure of that.

The night should have been Emma Harris’s triumph — the biggest event her company has ever staged, flawless to the last glass of champagne. Instead, she wakes at dawn in a stranger’s bed, hurt, drugged, the whole night wiped from her memory. Her clothes are folded over a chair, her shoes placed neatly side by side. Someone tidied up.

She runs to her sister. Rachel is a senior detective: capable, connected, exactly what Emma needs. And all their lives, Rachel has been the one who’s believed — while Emma is the one who exaggerates. Now everything depends on the sister who knows her least taking her at her word.

DS Jo Boden knows you can read a sister all wrong. She learnt it too late to change anything.

Because the perfect victim is a woman nobody believes.

A DS Jo Boden Thriller. Book 5.
