A new twisting novel of psychological suspense from the acclaimed author of The Girl I Used to Be.
Coworkers Ruby and Harry are in loveβbut theyβre married to other people. They decide to tell their spouses that their marriages are over and to start a new life together. Ruby has wanted to leave her controlling husband for a while, so she tells him sheβs leaving and waits at the hotel where she and Harry are to meet. But Harry never shows up.
Suddenly, Ruby has lost everything. Harry wonβt answer her calls, and sheβs fired from her job. She finds a cheap apartment in a run-down part of town, all the while wondering what happened to Harry.
