Description
A gripping, suspenseful thriller about trust, identity, immigration, and the dangerous consequences of secrets.
Perfect for fans of Six Truths and a Lie and Hunted, this twist-filled novel explores the fragile boundaries between loyalty and betrayal, examining how community, surveillance, and social media shape the truth we believe.
Hidaya Abuayash has finally built the life she always wanted. Happily married and thriving at the university sponsoring her visa, she feels secure and hopeful for the future. After leaving behind the pain and uncertainty of her past in Palestine, Hidaya is determined to follow every rule, earn her US citizenship, and create a family with her husband, Idris.
But everything changes when a heated confrontation turns terrifying. Idris pulls a gun on her—and reveals a devastating secret: he is an FBI informant who has been secretly monitoring her campus. Faced with a life-threatening moment of betrayal, Hidaya makes a split-second decision that changes everything.
With her immigration status at risk and fears that her past could endanger those she loves, Hidaya turns to her closest friend, Layyan, and Layyan’s brother, Ahmed, for help hiding the truth about what happened. She knows the world may not believe her claim of self-defense, especially when she fears being judged because of her identity and background.
But as the investigation closes in, Hidaya must confront a terrifying question: can she escape the consequences of her actions, or will the secrets she’s trying to protect ultimately expose her?
