A psychological thriller that will make you question everything you think you know about truth, memory, and guilt. What if you confessed to a murder you might not have committed? When Josie Fair walks into a coffee shop and confesses to killing her best friend nine years ago, podcaster Alix Morrison thinks she's found the story of a lifetime. A woman scorned. A tragic drowning. A secret carried for nearly a decade. But the deeper Alix digs, the more the story unravels. First, Josie says she pushed her friend into the river herself. Then she admits she hired someone to do it. Then she reveals she was 3,000 kilometers away when it happened. Then she claims she manipulated events from a distance. Then she confesses to confessing falsely. Each version is told with chilling conviction. Each version contradicts the last. As Josie's brain tumor destroys her memories in real-time, Alix races to uncover the truth before it disappears forever. But what she discovers is far more disturbing than murder: What if guilt doesn't need a crime? What if confession is just another kind of lie we tell ourselves? In a world obsessed with true crime and tidy answers, this is the story no one wants to hear-and the one everyone needs to read. Perfect for fans of: - Gone Girl meets The Woman in the Window - Unreliable narrators who will haunt you - Stories that refuse to give you easy answers - The dark psychology of guilt and memory
