What if your name was a lie What if your whole life was a lie In the split second freelance writer Ridley Jones saves a small child from being run over, her life changes forever. A newspaper photographer catches everything on film and Ridley becomes an instant media darling. But just as her life seems to be settling back to normal, an unmarked envelope is slipped under her door. It contains the newspaper article, along with an old photograph of a man, a woman who looks eerily like Ridley, and a little girl. The accompanying note reads simply: "Are you my daughter" Forced to question everything she thought she knew about herself and her family, Ridley wanders into a dark underworld she never knew existed. Now she's not sure who is on her side or who has something to hide even and maybe especially Jake, her new neighbour - a stranger she is irresistibly drawn to, who seems to have secrets of his own.
Lisa Unger's first book, Beautiful Lies, became a New York Times bestseller. Sliver of Truth was the highly anticipated follow-up. Black Out is Lisa's first stand-alone novel and Die for You is her latest.
