From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: Tainted love, jealousy and, brilliant revenge--this book has got the lot (New Woman).

Thirty-eight-year-old Jules Sampson is barely getting by as a working actor in London--until she gets a job as a stand-in for American movie star Lila Dune. Being the same age and in the same business, the two hit it off, but their careers couldn't be more different. Jules may not be as beautiful and successful as Lila, but she's a far better actor. Her impersonation of Lila is spot-on, and the two even slip into each other's lives. It's all just fun and games.

But Jules has made a dreadful miscalculation--one that takes her already simmering resentment of Lila to the boiling point. Consumed by jealousy, Jules is ready for her close-up--and no one is better prepared than her for her next big role . . .

Taking readers on a whirlwind of madness and obsession from London to New York to Los Angeles, Moggach's examination of the unbalanced mind is spellbinding, and the characters horribly believable. . . . This is [her] best novel yet (Options).

Compulsively readable . . . a triumph. --Sunday Express

Intelligent, persuasive, sensuous, perceptive . . . what an accomplishment! --Fay Weldon, author of The Life and Loves of a She Devil

An exciting, deftly executed thriller with considerable psychological intrigue. -- Publishers Weekly

With a marvelous snap of a windup, an absorbing, inventive chiller, complete with undertones of a sour, wry humor. --Kirkus Reviews
