'A page-turner with a mystery to solve, and a meditation on what it means for a child to know their parents' -- Cathy Rentzenbrink An exceptional, entirely unpredictable, real-life thriller, this is not about death but life: how it is lived and perceived, what is real and what is not. Told from the inside, where it hurts the most. In today's world, in the face of AI, fake news, the abandonment of fact checking and deep fake identities, Joanne, lawyer turned truth-sleuth, keeps you hooked throughout anticipating the next revelation as she crosses the boundaries of belief. Far, far stranger than fiction and far more salutary. -- Michael Mansfield * author of The Power In The People *
