**In this twisty psychological thriller from the *New York Times* bestselling author of *The Girl Before,* an actress plays both sides of a murder investigation.** ** “[A] rich, nuanced, highly literary take on the *Gone Girl* theme.”— *Booklist* (starred review)** Claire Wright is desperate. A British drama student in New York without a green card, she takes the only job she can get: working for a firm of divorce lawyers, posing as an easy pickup in hotel bars to entrap straying husbands. But then the game changes. When one of her targets becomes the suspect in a murder investigation, the police ask Claire to use her acting chops to lure him into a confession. From the start, she questions the part she’s being asked to play: Is Patrick Fogler a killer? Or is there more to this setup than she’s being told? Claire will soon realize she is playing the deadliest role of her life. **Praise for *Believe Me*** “For readers who enjoyed the paranoia factor in A. J.
