by **Nicholas Searle** (Author)

**Now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen.**  

**"A superb thriller and a truly engrossing read."--Ruth Ware, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _In a Dark, Dark Wood_ and _The Woman in Cabin 10_**

When Roy meets a wealthy widow online, he can hardly believe his luck. Just like Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley, Roy is a man who lives to deceive--and everything about Betty suggests she's an easy mark. He's confident that his scheme to swindle her will be a success. After all, he's done this before.

Sure enough, Betty soon lets Roy move into her beautiful home, seemingly blind to the web of lies he's woven around her. But who is Roy, _really_? Spanning almost a century, this stunning and suspenseful feat of storytelling interweaves the present with the past. As the clock turns back and the years fall away, long-hidden secrets are forced into the light. Some things can never be forgotten. Or forgiven.
