Two Kinds of Stranger
Elly Parker is an internet celebrity known for her random acts of kindness. Her husband, apartment, friends and job all seem flawless, and millions of people follow her life online.
Then a betrayal strips all of it away, and that same audience watches her fall. Even at her lowest, Elly stops to help anyone who needs it, a habit she cannot shake.
That habit makes her a target. A chance meeting with a stranger pulls her into a sadistic game, and her situation turns far worse than anything she has ever imagined. She learns quickly that a stranger cannot be trusted.
The one person she can turn to is Eddie Flynn, a conman who became a trial lawyer. He takes on her case, a legal thriller problem in which nothing is what it seems and the facts keep shifting under him.
Someone with a cruelly inventive mind is steering events from out of sight, and no one is safe from the game. Eddie and his family are in danger too, and the question is whether he can find the player before the next move lands.
