Summary

Who would YOU trust to carry out your final wish?

“Such a twisty ride! You are going to love this” - Lesley Kara, bestselling author of THE RUMOUR

Two women. A dying wish. And a web of lies that will bring their world crashing down…

Nina and Marie were best friends—until Nina was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Before she died, Nina asked Marie to fulfill her final wishes.

But her mistake was in thinking Marie was someone she could trust.
