![]() Tess, as she is known, has some emotional issues and doesn’t want anyone else to realize she’s gone off and killed herself, so she plans to do the deed someplace where her body won’t easily be found. Would she pretend to be someone else online for about six months in order to cover up the woman’s pending suicide? The woman in question is a dark-haired, hypnotic gamine who entrances men and has many friends, basically the opposite of Leila. Leila is elevated to one of the site’s most trusted commenters, and soon, Adrian approaches Leila with a proposition. ![]() But things all change when Leila joins a philosophical discussion group on a website known as Red Pill and is befriended by the site’s owner, an American named Adrian. Sheltered, socially inept and almost friendless, she secures a job testing software out of the home Leila bought herself: a run-down apartment over an Indian restaurant in Rotherhithe, in Southeast London. ![]() Leila’s father left before she was born, and her mother died when she had barely reached young adulthood. Moggach’s debut draws the reader into a series of events that bring together three very disparate individuals and puts them into a bizarre game of chance and deceit. ![]()
