The only witness. The only loose end. This is the jaw-droppingly brilliant new thriller from A.C. Glass.

In this gripping, atmospheric thriller, a woman becomes the only witness to a deadly crime . . . making her the next target.

Maya Landry is in desperate need of a fresh start: her husband cheated on her, destroying their marriage and leaving her devastated.

Maya retreats to the remote beauty of Montana and takes a job at The Gateway, an exclusive ski resort for the elite. But the beauty and wealth is no escape, and her new life is shattered when she stumbles upon a gruesome murder scene high on the mountain. She must run to find help.

But when she returns the body is gone. And there is no sign there ever was a body at all.

She begins to doubt her sanity. Until later that night, when a stranger warns her that someone saw her up on the mountain that day — someone willing to kill to keep their secret. He tells her that she must go into hiding, and that he alone can save her.

But can she trust him? Is he everything he claims to be?

Only one thing is certain: the killers will stop at nothing. And Maya is in the only witness to their crime…

About the author

A.C. Glass

Dubbed ‘The new queen of spy fiction’ by the Guardian newspaper, and ‘the real thing’ by the Washington Post, A.C. 'Ava' Glass is the CWA Dagger-shortlisted author of Alias Emma (The Chase), The Traitor and The Trap. The Traitor was a 2023 Richard and Judy Bookclub pick. Alias Emma was a Barnes and Noble book of the month. A former crime reporter and communications consultant, for five years Ava worked closely with spies. Her time in that world fascinated her, and the people she met back then inspire every book she writes.
