Everyone remembers Vivian Cross.
No one knows Sloane Mercer.
And someone has spent eleven years making sure it stays that way.
Sloane Mercer has built a career becoming whoever other people need her to be. A wife at a dinner. A daughter at a hospital. A familiar face in the right place at exactly the right time.
She is very good at disappearing into someone else's life.
Then a mysterious client hires her to wear a red coat to an exclusive charity gala and impersonate a woman she has never met.
By morning, Vivian Cross is dead.
And witnesses are certain they saw Sloane somewhere she knows she never was.
Then another woman appears wearing Sloane's coat. Carrying Sloane's bag. Moving like her.
The deeper Sloane digs, the more impossible the truth becomes. Eleven years earlier, she was unknowingly used in a deception that destroyed Vivian's life-and someone has been protecting that lie ever since.
Witnesses remember things that really happened.
Photographs show women who were really there.
Records prove events that actually occurred.
But together, they tell a story that is completely false.
Now the same machinery that erased Vivian's truth is turning on Sloane.
And this time, it doesn't just want her silence.
It wants her identity.
To survive, Sloane must uncover who has been rewriting reality around her before another woman is accepted as Sloane Mercer-and the real Sloane becomes the one nobody believes.
Because the most dangerous lie isn't the one everyone knows is false.
It's the one built from enough truth that no one thinks to question it.
The Alibi Woman is a dark, addictive psychological thriller about stolen identity, manufactured memory, obsession, betrayal, and the terrifying possibility that every witness can be telling the truth-and still be wrong.
Perfect for readers who love twisty psychological suspense, unreliable evidence, identity mysteries, shocking betrayals, escalating danger, and endings that make you rethink everything that came before.
