Nina Todd Has Gone: A Novel

After a one-night stand, a woman is obsessively pursued in Lesley Glaister’s brilliantly plotted thriller

You should always trust your gut feelings. . . . If only I had trusted mine.
 
While away on a business trip, Nina meets a gorgeous man in her hotel lobby, and even before their tryst is over, she’s sorry she did it. She recently moved in with her boyfriend, Charlie, and feels like the worst kind of cheat. The sooner she puts the sordid encounter behind her, the better.
 
But Rupert isn’t going away—because Rupert isn’t the face he presents to the world. Rupert isn’t even his real name. He’s on a personal mission—one he’s been waiting years to fulfill. And it turns out Nina isn’t exactly who she seems to be either.
 
Alternating between Rupert and Nina’s voices, between past and present, Nina Todd Has Gone builds pathos and suspense as it moves inexorably toward a final, shocking conclusion.
