"There's something I have to explain, my love," he says, taking your hand in his. "That wasn't a dream. It was an upload."
Abbie wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. The man by her side explains that he's her husband. He's a titan of the tech world, the founder of one of Silicon Valley's most innovative startups. He tells Abbie she's a gifted artist, a doting mother to their young son, and the perfect wife.
Five years ago, she suffered a terrible accident. Her return from the abyss is a miracle of science, a breakthrough in artificial intelligence that has taken him half a decade to achieve.
But as Abbie pieces together memories of her marriage, she begins questioning her husband's motives - and his version of events. Can she trust him when he says he wants them to be together for ever? And what really happened to her, half a decade ago?
'Seriously, amazingly, awesomely brilliant' CJ TUDOR, author of The Chalk Man

Pete Riley answers the door one morning to a parent's worst nightmare. On his doorstep is Miles Lambert, who breaks the devastating news that Pete's two-year-old, Theo, isn't Pete's real son - their babies got mixed up at birth.
The two families - Pete, his partner Maddie, and Miles and his wife Lucy - agree that, rather than swap the boys back, they'll try to find a more flexible way to share their children's lives. But a plan to sue the hospital triggers an investigation that unearths disturbing questions about just what happened the day the babies were switched.
And when Theo is thrown out of nursery for hitting other children, Maddie and Pete have to ask themselves: how far do they want this arrangement to go? What secrets lie hidden behind the Lamberts' smart front door? How much can they trust the real parents of their child - or even each other?

Con quest'uomo ci andrei a letto. Gli ho detto poco più che buongiorno, eppure la parte più segreta di me, quella che sfugge al mio controllo, ha già espresso il suo giudizio. Lui mi tiene aperta la porta della sala riunioni e persino questo piccolo gesto di cortesia mi sembra carico di significato.
Non posso credere di essere a un passo, un solo piccolo passo, dall'aggiudicarmi la casa che lui, Edward Monkford - un innovatore, un architetto riservato e profondo -, ha progettato e realizzato in Folgate Street, civico 1, Londra.
Una casa straordinaria. Un edificio che coniuga l'avanguardia europea ad antichi rituali giapponesi. Design minimalista di pietra chiara, lastre di vetro insonorizzate e sensibili alla luce, soffitti immensi. Nessun soprammobile, niente armadi, niente cornici alle finestre, nessun interruttore, nessuna presa elettrica. Un gioiello della domotica, dove tutta la tecnologia è nascosta.
Una casa che però ha le sue regole, il Regolamento come lo chiamo: se diventerà mia non dovrò soltanto rinunciare a tappeti, fotografie alle pareti, piante ornamentali, animali domestici o feste con gli amici, ma dovrò plasmare il mio carattere, accettare una concezione della vita in cui il meno è il più, in cui l'austerità e l'ordine sono la purezza, e la sobrietà la ricompensa.
Perché lui vuole così, perché lui è così. Ha voluto sapere tutto di me, mi ha chiesto un elenco di tutte le cose che considero essenziali per la mia vita. Dicono che quest'uomo, dai capelli di un biondo indefinito e dall'aspetto poco appariscente, con gli occhi di un azzurro chiaro e luminoso, sia un architetto eccezionale perché non cede a nessuna tentazione.
Tuttavia, la casa è già stata abitata, una volta. Da una ragazza della mia stessa età, quasi una mia gemella, mi hanno detto. Anche lei, come me, non insensibile al fascino di quest'uomo.
Una ragazza che tre anni fa è morta. In questa casa.

Neben dir steht dein Mann Tim, ein erfolgreicher Unternehmer. Er hat Tränen in den Augen, weil du – seine geliebte, perfekte Frau – am Leben bist. Du denkst, du hättest einen schweren Unfall gehabt. Doch dann sagt Tim: Wir haben jahrelang daran gearbeitet, dass ich dich wiederbekommen konnte …
Du entdeckst dein Leben wie mit fremden Augen. Du ahnst Gefahr, aber du weißt nicht, wo genau sie lauert. Du weißt nur: Du musst wachsam sein. Denn irgendwo in deinem schönen Haus, bei deinen Liebsten liegt der Grund dafür – der Grund, warum du vor Jahren gestorben bist.

Es ist der Albtraum aller Eltern: Als Pete Riley eines Morgens die Tür öffnet, steht vor ihm ein Mann, der seinem zweijährigen Sohn Theo wie aus dem Gesicht geschnitten ist. Was Miles Lambert ihm offenbart, bringt Petes Welt ins Wanken: Die Söhne der beiden Familien sind nach der Geburt vertauscht worden, Miles und seine Frau sind Theos biologische Eltern. Nach dem ersten Schock beschließen die beiden Paare, die Kinder nicht aus ihren Familien zu reißen. Sie wollen gemeinsam einen Weg finden, am Leben ihres jeweils leiblichen Sohnes teilzuhaben. Doch schnell stellt sich heraus, dass die Familien unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Pete traut der heilen Welt im Hause Lambert immer weniger. Dann bringt eine Klage gegen das Krankenhaus, in dem der Fehler passiert ist, Verstörendes ans Tageslicht …
Nach einem Schicksalsschlag braucht Jane dringend einen Neuanfang. Daher überlegt sie nicht lange, als sie die Möglichkeit bekommt, in ein hochmodernes Haus in einem schicken Londoner Viertel einzuziehen. Sie kann ihr Glück kaum fassen, als sie dann auch noch den charismatischen Besitzer und Architekten des Hauses kennenlernt. Er scheint sich zu ihr hingezogen zu fühlen. Doch bald erfährt Jane, dass ihre Vormieterin im Haus verstarb – und ihr erschreckend ähnlich sah. Als sie versucht, der Wahrheit auf den Grund zu gehen, erlebt sie unwissentlich das Gleiche wie die Frau vor ihr: Sie lebt und liebt wie sie. Sie vertraut den gleichen Menschen. Und sie nähert sich der gleichen Gefahr.

The girl in the feathered mask was just another Carnival reveller, dancing in the streets at midnight, anonymous in the Venice crowds. So nobody noticed when she was bundled into a van and driven high into the hills. It was several hours later that she was finally reported missing.
Captain Kat Tapo, of the Venice police, is considered too headstrong to lead a high-profile kidnap case. But Kat has reasons of her own to mount a secret investigation. What she discovers will rewrite the past... and send shockwaves into the present.
This is the second novel in a trilogy of stylish and intelligent thrillers set in Venice from Jonathan Holt who, under the name J.P. Delaney, is also the author of the Sunday Times bestselling psychological thrillers The Girl Before and The Perfect Wife.
