But neither realizes how high the stakes will become when Mary takes a dead woman’s name. When she meets a charismatic young woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Robin-and has every reason to leave her past behind-the two make a reckless bargain: Mary will impersonate Robin for a week in exchange for Robin’s half of the cash. And unbeknownst to anyone, even her husband, Leslie needs it desperately. Now her half of the money may be beyond her grasp. But when their father passed away, Leslie received a rude awakening: She and Robin would receive the inheritance he left them together-or not at all. In the years since Robin ran away from home as a teenager, Leslie has stayed in New Mexico, taking care of their dying father even as she began building a family of her own. If Leslie had arrived at her sister’s cramped Las Vegas apartment just hours earlier, this would have been their first reunion in a decade. “Like most of the dead, I want to be remembered.” When a woman conceals her sister’s death to claim their joint inheritance, her deception exposes a web of dangerous secrets in this addictive new thriller for fans of Megan Abbott, Gillian Flynn, and Paula Hawkins.
