imposter syndrome

Joseph Knox

'When you're living a lie, you find it best to avoid close associations...'

Lynch, a burned-out conman, arrives in London penniless and tries not to dwell on the mistakes that got him there. When he encounters Poppy, an heiress in rehab, and she mistakes him for her missing brother, Lynch senses opportunity, as well as danger... Bobby's brother Haydon was a troubled young man. Five years ago, he left the family home and never returned. His car was found parked on a bridge overlooking the Thames in the early hours of the same morning. Troubled by Poppy's story and suffering from a rare bout of conscience, Lynch tries to back out. But when Poppy leaves rehab the next day, he finds himself drawn to her luxurious family home and a meeting with her mother, the powerful Miranda. Seeing the resemblance to her daughter, Miranda suggests she hire Lynch to impersonate her son in a last-ditch effort to uncover his killer. As Lynch began to assume his identity, dark forces lured him from the shadows, and he belatedly realized that Whedon wasn't paranoid at all. Someone was watching his every move, and they would kill him to keep it a secret. For the first time, Lynch found himself in a life-or-death situation he couldn't lie his way out of.
