London, 1965. Veronica, a brilliant young woman from a wealthy family, seems to have a bright future ahead until her unexpected suicide shocks everyone, especially her younger sister. Convinced that something is wrong, the sister discovers the case of "Dorothy" in a book by a famous psychoanalyst, Collins Braithwaite, and recognizes Veronica's life in it. Determined to find the truth, she infiltrates Braithwaite's therapy under a false identity, Rebecca Smyth, initiating a dangerous and fascinating psychological game with the therapist. This gripping novel by Graeme Macrae Burnet is a masterful psychological thriller that explores the boundaries of identity, obsession, and truth.
