<p><b>The most mesmerising, unsettling novel of 2025, perfect for fans of David Mitchell, Julia Armfield, and Margaret Atwood.<br><br>'Sinister, mysterious and gorgeously realised' KALIANE BRADLEY, author of <i>The Ministry of Time</i></b><br><br><b>'Super-sophisticated horror' <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b><i>---</i><br><br>The woman never goes by the same name.</b><br><b>She never stays in the same place too long.<br>She never ages. She never dies.<br><i>But those around her do.</i></b><br><br>When two grieving strangers meet by chance in Osaka airport they uncover a disturbing connection. Jake's best friend and Mariko's twin brother each died, 6,000 miles apart, in brutal and unfathomable circumstances.<br><br>Each encountered a mesmerising, dark-haired woman in the days before their deaths. A woman who came looking for Mariko - and then disappeared.<br><br>Jake, who has carried his loss and guilt for a decade, finds himself compelled to follow the trail set by Mariko's revelations. It's a trail that weaves across continents and centuries, leading back to the many who have died - in strange and terrifying and eerily similar ways - and those they left behind: bewildered, disbelieved, yet resolutely sure of what they saw.<br><br>And, at the centre of it all, there is the same beguiling woman. Her name may have changed, but her purpose has never wavered, and as Jake races to discover who, or <i>what</i> she is, she has already made her next choice.<br><br>But will knowing her secret be enough to stop her?<br><br>---<br><br><b>'Snags the reader in its claw and mesmerizes from page one' Monique Roffey, author of <i>The Mermaid of Black Conch</i><br><br>'Like nothing else I've ever read ... The kind of story you tell around a campfire as the lights of civilization begin to flicker out around you' Kristen Roupenian, author of 'Cat Person'<br><br>'Beguiles, terrifies and utterly seduces you ... At once a thriller, a postmodern mystery and an existential horror tale' Meg
