A Double Life: An edge-of-your-seat thriller about the weight of guilt and the price of revenge

The morning after Sophie's mother was attacked and her nanny was murdered, the police found her father's car abandoned in a field above the Channel with bloodstains on its seats.

He has been missing ever since.

His friends insist on his innocence. Like Colin, they are wealthy and connected, and had the means to help him disappear.
Nearly thirty years later, Sophie infiltrates their circle to learn the truth about their and her father's secrets.

A Double Life is Sophie's investigation of the crime, and of her inheritance of guilt, shame, and fury.
