One Night Only

The exhilarating and addictive new thriller from the bestselling author of THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND

By: Karen Hamilton

Narrated by: Rose Akroyd

Nicole flies long haul across the world. Tokyo. Cape Town. New York.

In the cockpit, she's untouchable. At home, she's suffocating in a loveless marriage built on coercion and lies. So, Nicole finds release elsewhere - and uses strict rules to keep herself safe:

No married men.
No emotional attachments.
No getting caught.
One night only.

But when Nicole's husband is found dead - and she becomes the prime suspect - every lie is stacked up against her, and the life she kept carefully compartmentalised unravels rapidly.

At 36,000 feet, Nicole knows how to manage turbulence. But on the ground, control is slipping.

And when control is everything, losing it can be deadly.

Sexy, sharp and utterly addictive, this psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Jeneva Rose, Ruth Ware and Freida McFadden.
