DATE OF RELEASE: 22 JAN 2026

The Reappearance of Rachel Price meets They Both Die at the End in this gripping queer thriller filled with stolen identity, true crime and first love, from the bestselling author of All That's Left in the World. Desperate to escape conversion therapy, a queer sixteen-year-old runaway steals the identity of a missing boy. But when Nathaniel Beaumont's family come to take him home, 'Nate' is trapped in a web of lies.

Then he meets Miles - the cute, clever and true-crime-obsessed boy next-door - and his cover is blown. Rather than turn him in, Miles agrees to help 'Nate' in exchange for exposing the truth about what happened to his childhood friend. But as their investigation turns dangerous and their feelings turn real, time is running out to discover why Nathaniel Beaumont disappeared.

. . and who might want to keep it that way.
