"A cunningly plotted novel that keeps readers guessing with twists and turns and an ending they won't see coming." -The Booklife Prize
Two women thousands of miles apart. One a scientist stranded on an island with an untrustworthy male colleague and a hostile alien stalking them. The other-a thief wrongfully imprisoned for murder-lives in fear of assault by a corrupt prison guard. Neither can overcome the invaders that threaten their survival without solving the mystery of the link that binds them. "A short, briskly paced novel that's full of entertaining plot twists." -Kirkus Reviews
