The Passenger

From the author of New York Times bestsellers. Amazon and Goodreads choice.

Tanya Dubois’s husband lies dead by the staircase. And she knows what to do.

Cash out the cards. Dye her hair. Achieve an utterly unremarkable appearance. And above all—call on the phone and force the deep, mysterious voice on the other end of the line to give her a new identity.

She knows this because it’s happened to her before. So now—no more Tanya.

Now the painful secret that has been chasing her uses a new disguise: Amelia King.

Until she bumps into a bartender named Blue, who immediately recognizes her as the runaway—one who changes names, faces, habits, cars, and cities like gloves.

Because Blue is like that too.

The women form a strange and dangerous alliance—swapping their current identities.

But will it help them detach from their horrific past and finally stop?
