The Accomplice
From Lisa Lutz, comes a story of two people surrounded by questions they would much rather not answer...
Owen and Luna are the best of friends, but it seems that their companionship raises concerns and question from those who know of them: What connects them so strongly? Why aren’t they a couple? And, perhaps most importantly, why do people around them always wind up dead?
Every answer raises a new, more terrifying question in The Accomplice, which is set to release on April 14th, 2022 in paperback.
