      On a north London high street, a runaway vehicle crashes to a halt. The man in the driving seat was murdered a week earlier. On Hampstead Heath, a bonfire blazes- in the flames lies the next victim. As autumn leaves fall, a serial killer runs amok in the capital, playing games with the police. The death toll is rising fast, and the investigation is floundering. But this is no ordinary killer, and every new victim is intended as a message to just one woman. Because psychologist Frieda Klein is in hiding. And someone is coming to find her . . . After seven stunning novels, Frieda Klein's duel with her dark nemesis finally comes to a climax - and only one can make it out alive.

      Don Tillman, profesor de Genética, vive atrapado en una visión rígida de la realidad y nunca ha tenido una segunda cita. Consciente de que los hombres en pareja son más felices, inicia El Proyecto Esposa, creando un cuestionario de dieciséis páginas para encontrar a la mujer perfecta: puntual, sin hábitos de fumar ni beber, y que se ajuste a su vida ordenada. Sin embargo, su vida da un giro inesperado cuando conoce a Rosie Jarman, una mujer guapa y luchadora que trabaja en un bar, fuma, bebe y siempre llega tarde, lo que la convierte en la candidata ideal para ser descartada. Rosie, por su parte, busca a su padre biológico, y Don se ve arrastrado a ayudarla, rompiendo sus propias reglas. A medida que se involucra en su búsqueda, Don y Rosie se embarcan en una aventura divertida y emocionante que revela que el amor no se busca, sino que aparece cuando menos lo esperamos. La historia es hilarante y sorprendente, con un protagonista excepcional: el inteligente y obsesivo Don Tillman, quien enfrenta dificultades para navegar en un mundo emocionalmente complejo, donde las personas a menudo dicen lo contrario de lo que piensan.

      A novel about love, music and coming to terms with the past, from the author of the international bestseller The Rosie Project. On the cusp of fifty, Adam Sharp has a loyal partner, earns a good income as an IT contractor and is the music-trivia expert at quiz nights. It’s the lifestyle he wanted, but something’s missing. Two decades ago, on the other side of the world, his part-time piano playing led him into a passionate relationship with Angelina Brown, who’d abandoned law studies to pursue her acting dream. She gave Adam a chance to make it something more than an affair—but he didn’t take it. And now he can’t shake off his nostalgia for what might have been. Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. What does she want? Does Adam dare to live dangerously? How far will he go for a second chance?
