The Inheritance Thief

A young woman investigating a decades-old disappearance in the French Alps becomes entangled in a web of privilege and lies—and realizes that even buried secrets can have deadly consequences, from the bestselling author of the Reese’s Book Club pick Society of Lies. Zoe Li has spent her life on the outside looking in, hungry for the kind of story that could finally make her someone. So when a chance encounter lands her a dream job working for Simone Rothwell, an acclaimed filmmaker with a cliffside Malibu estate, a magnetic husband, and the glittering life Zoe has always imagined for herself, it feels like fate. But inside the Rothwells’ beautiful home, something dark lingers. Simone’s office is strictly off-limits. Zoe’s mother begs her to stay away from Simone. And Simone seems to know far more about Zoe’s past than she should. Then the body of Wesley Thorne, the teenage son of a powerful media billionaire, surfaces in the French Alps, more than two decades after his disappearance was ruled a tragic accident. Back in 2002, Simone was there in Chamonix with Wes the night he vanished.
