Lorsqu'elle découvre le One Folgate Street, Jane est conquise par cette maison ultramoderne, minimaliste, parfaite pour tourner la page après le drame éprouvant qu'elle vient de vivre. Mais, pour la louer, il faut se plier aux règles draconiennes imposées par son architecte, Edward Monkford, aussi mystérieux que séduisant. Notamment répondre régulièrement à des questionnaires intrusifs. Jane apprend bientôt qu'Emma, la locataire qui l'a précédée, lui ressemble étrangement et a connu une fin tragique. Irrémédiablement, Jane s'engage sur la même voie, fait les mêmes choix, croise les mêmes personnes... et ressent la même terreur que la fille d'avant.

Étudiante en art dramatique à New York, Claire finance ses cours de théâtre en jouant un rôle peu conventionnel : elle flirte, pour le compte d'un cabinet d'avocats spécialisé dans les divorces, avec des hommes mariés suspectés d'infidélité.
Sa couverture fonctionne parfaitement, jusqu'à ce que l'une de ses « proies » soit soupçonnée de meurtre... La police exige alors de Claire qu'elle utilise ses talents d'actrice pour pousser Patrick Fogler à confesser son crime. En somme, qu'elle leur serve d'appât. Pourtant, cet universitaire élégant est loin du manipulateur pervers qu'on lui a décrit. Sans compter qu'il demeure indifférent aux avances de Claire.
Pourquoi cette mise en scène ressemble-t-elle de plus en plus à un vaste mensonge ? Alors que Claire pensait y faire une apparition de figurante, y tiendrait-elle, à son insu, le premier rôle le plus dangereux de sa vie ?
Mais, désormais, il est trop tard pour reculer. Place au spectacle. -
''JP Delaney is King of Thrillers'' FIONA CUMMINS When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca, while his family returned to the UK.
Ownership of his home, a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the mountains, now passes to Finn and his sister. The only problem is that Jimmy recently remarried for the third time, and his new wife, Ruensa, is still living there.
The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa - along with her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy''s death . . . Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?
