A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year

"Not only a psychological thriller, but also a locked-room/locked-memory mystery extraordinaire."--Anniston Star

An expert in memory must uncover the truth about her family's wartime past in this dazzling psychological thriller from the #1 internationally bestselling author of Anna O.

Two women checked in . . . only one checked out

Olivia Finn is a memory expert at Charing Cross Hospital in London. One night, she receives an urgent call from the police at the HĂ´tel Lutetia on Paris's famous Left Bank. Olivia's French grandmother, Josephine Benoit, has appeared at the Lutetia in a distressed state claiming she committed a murder in one of the hotel's rooms at the end of the Second World War.

Travelling to Paris, Olivia finds her grandmother confused. But Josephine insists it is a recovered memory from the past. More disturbingly, hotel records show that a woman did die in that room of the Lutetia in 1945. Could Josephine's story actually be true?

As people start dying in the present day, Olivia is plunged into a race against time to uncover the truth about Josephine and what really happened all those years ago. Set among the glamorous streets of Paris, this addictive thriller asks: What if a memory could get you killed?
