Some women collect recipes. Chloe Sterling collects versions of herself.
The world believes Chloe is a victim-a beautiful, tragic widow twice over. But beneath the facade of fragile sorrow is a cold, calculating mind, an architect of elaborate, flawless lies. Her second husband, David, was murdered in a staged break-in; her lover, Mark, was convinced to eliminate him before being neatly disposed of as a guilt-ridden suicide.
Now, Chloe is free, sitting in her multi-million pound house, ready for her final victory.
But two new players have entered the board:
As Chloe races to eliminate the blackmail threat by making her neighbor the chief suspect in her lover's death, Detective Rossi closes in, following a forensic trail that threatens to expose Chloe's full, deadly history, including the "accidental" death of her first husband, James.
In a game where every player is a carefully manipulated pawn, Chloe must fight to protect her masterpiece, learning that the most dangerous secrets are always buried beneath the most pristine surfaces.
