One night. One date. What have you got to lose?
Jack Harper isn't a bad man, but he's stuck in a loveless marriage with a mediocre job just trying to keep sober. The only good thing in his life is his son. When an old college friend introduces him to a new extramarital dating website, he tentatively reaches out to find a distraction from his misery. But when he goes to meet up with his steamy online date, he quickly realises it was a dire choice.
Soon, Jack finds himself desperately trying to prove his innocence for crimes he did not commit, and the life he once had — unhappy as it was — is nothing but a dream. Now, he's living his worst nightmare. . .
As gripping as TM Logan's Lies and as compulsive as Gillian McAllister's Anything You Do Say, this intense psychological thriller is packed with shocking twists and turns and plays with a basic anxiety we all harbour: What if one reckless decision could ruin your life forever?
