'Whip smart and fraught with tension...Brilliant.' Mary Kubica, author of The Good Girl

A breakneck thriller full of twists - John Grisham meets The Girl on the Train.

The only thing worse than finding out that your husband is dead, is discovering the secrets he left behind.

Annabel's seemingly perfect ex-patriate life in Geneva is shattered when her banker husband Matthew's plane crashes in the Alps. When Annabel finds clues that his death may not be all it seems, she puts herself in the crosshairs of powerful enemies and questions whether she really knew her husband at all.

Meanwhile, journalist Marina is investigating Swiss United, the bank where Matthew worked. But when she uncovers evidence of a shocking global financial scandal that implicates someone close to home, she is forced to make an impossible choice.
