«A proper twisty thriller.»—Sarah Pinborough

A stranger has infiltrated your family… and now he's taking control.

Paul is here to help, or at least that's what he claims—sent by a charity for vulnerable people to do various jobs for the elderly widow Wen. But for Wen's daughter, Connie, there's something about Paul that worries her from day one. He's a little too polite, a little too involved… Worse, Wen seems to have fallen under his influence.

The last thing Connie wants is a stranger meddling in the safe routine she's built around Wen. She loves being the one Wen turns to for cooking, cleaning, and companionship. But the more Paul visits, the more reliant Wen becomes on him. By the time Paul conveniently finds himself without a home and has no choice but to move in, Connie is convinced he's trying to drive her away entirely.

It's her word against his, though, and as her attempts to expose him become more desperate, she's not the only one wondering if she's lost touch with reality. But when events begin to unfold rapidly beyond her control, will Connie have to declare all-out war on Paul and risk losing Wen forever—or was that his plan all along?
