An Anonymous Girl

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

Make-up artist, Jessica Farris, carries
her cumbersome bag of beauty supplies
to the home of yet another client looking
for the perfect transformation.

With her palette of vivid colors, Jessica
can turn a plain face into an exotic one with
the stroke of a brush. It's a tedious job
that pays the bills and satisfies her
artistic flair.

But Jessica's financial woes are mounting.
When she overhears a client's conversation
promising easy money, she takes a quick
peek at the girl's personal phone message,
and decides to impersonate her at a
psychological study that guarantees
anonymity and fast cash for her dwindling
bank account.

What harm can possibly come from a
few hours on a laptop, answering probing
questions designed to better understand the
human psyche?

Little does naive Jessica know, that renowned
psychiatrist, Dr. Lydia Shields, has finally found
the ideal participant to take part in her devious,
dangerous scheme of revenge.

As Jessica falls deeper and deeper
under the good doctor's trance, she finds
her ordinary life exploding all around her.
Fear engulfs every move she makes, and
when her unknowing family becomes an
integral part of the plot, she realizes there's
nowhere to turn, there's no one she can
trust.

Fans of Hendrick's and Pekkanen's
"The Wife Between Us," will relish this
fast-paced, addictive suspense novel
about a cunning professional who uses the
power of persuasion and deceit to destroy those
who have wronged her.

With enough twists and turns to boggle
the mind, this thriller should remain on
The New York Times Best Sellers for
weeks to come.
