Ellen Baker, author of "Keeping the House" and "The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson""Yvonne Walus's latest thriller is a clever, fast-paced story about identity, temptation, and deceit. The Wrong Girl has everything: a great plot, a colourful cast of characters, an intriguing setting. A real page-turner." Rose Carlyle, author of "The Girl in the Mirror"She's hiding from the one man who can't let her go.At 15, she changed her name, her hair, and even her life-fleeing to an elite boarding school for difficult girls in New Zealand, always ready to run again. But when a classmate is poisoned, one question haunts her: did her father come for her-and make a terrible mistake?Enter Zero Zimmerman, a female police officer assigned to the case because "it's not important" and police officers play power games too. Zero's gift as a human lie detector makes her unstoppable on the job, but her messed-up family dynamics tell another story. Zero's own sister sits in jail for a crime she didn't commit, and their parents secretly pin the blame on the wrong daughter. Now, as Zero digs deeper, she confronts a trail of deception and hidden identities where no one quite fits society's boxes.In a world divided between rigid gender definitions and the mantra to "live your truth," some simply want to live-no labels, no expectations.
