There’s been an explosion in Dr Tyson Klein’s apartment. It’s clear he was the target. Now he’s on the run. But it looks like further betrayal awaits him…
The dark streets of Geneva were completely empty. The shops were all closed. Even the bars and clubs were deserted.
Ty’s legs, arms, and back ached as he pumped the pedals, but he ignored the pain. His discovery was clearly a threat to someone.
But who?
And why?
He sensed that his life was about to change forever, that the blast was a sort of demarcation between his quiet, lonely life before and whatever was about to happen now.
He stood and leaned on the pedals as he crossed the bridge over the Rhône River, into Geneva’s Old Town. The coffee shop where he had first met
Penny was a popular spot for locals, tourists, and students. It was a block away from the University of Geneva and had been packed that Saturday six months ago. Ty had arrived early, staked out a seat at a small table in the corner, and was reading a book, lost in thought, when Penny placed her hand on the empty chair opposite him.
“Hi.”
“Hi,” he had answered, his voice scratchy.
She smiled and glanced through the plate glass window, out onto the street where it had begun raining in sheets. “Really sorry, but would you mind if I sat here for a minute?”
Dozens of patrons were standing now, watching the rain, sipping coffee and tea, waiting for a break to escape the crowded café. As she stood there, staring at him, Ty felt them slipping into their own little world, as though the small table was an island of solitude in the midst of the crowd, the two of them existing outside of space and time.

True Detective - The Only Way Is Essex for Jessica Jones in Lisa Jewell's first Marvel Crime novel
Known for bestselling psychological thrillers such as Then She Was Gone and The Family Upstairs, Jewell says she initially overemphasised the Marvel Universe’s fantastical elements before realising that she should simply trust her natural instincts. “I went too far on many occasions and had to keep cutting stuff out because I’d end up with stuff like a huge underground lab full of mad scientists,” she laughs.
