Dark, smart, strange, compelling' Harriet Lane, bestselling author of HerOverwhelmed by the huge success of her latest novel, exhausted and suffering from a crippling inability to write, Delphine meets L.

And as their lives become further entwined, L. begins to threaten Delphine’s identity and her safety.
