Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Ron Howard. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. Emma Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does. Jane After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before. Praise for The Girl Before “Dazzling, startling, and above all cunning - a pitch-perfect novel of psychological suspense.” (Lee Child) “The Girl Before generates a fast pace.... [J. P.] Delaney intersperses ethics questions on stand-alone pages throughout the book.... The single most ingenious touch is that we’re not provided either woman’s answers.” (The New York Times) “J. P. Delaney builds the suspense.” (Vanity Fair) “Immediate guarantee: You will not be able to put this book down.... Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will realize that there’s not only more where that came from, but it’s also more thrilling.” (American Booksellers Association)

Summary
In this twisty psychological thriller from the New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Before, an actress plays both sides of a murder investigation. "A compelling read...redefines the concept of an unreliable narrator...[a] rich, nuanced, highly literary take on the Gone Girl theme." (Booklist) A struggling actor, a Brit in America without a green card, Claire needs work and money to survive. Then she gets both. But nothing like she expected. Claire agrees to become a decoy for a firm of divorce lawyers. Hired to entrap straying husbands, she must catch them on tape with their seductive propositions. The rules? Never hit on the mark directly. Make it clear you’re available, but he has to proposition you, not the other way around. The firm is after evidence, not coercion. The innocent have nothing to hide. Then the game changes. When the wife of one of Claire’s targets is violently murdered, the cops are sure the husband is to blame. Desperate to catch him before he kills again, they enlist Claire to lure him into a confession. Claire can do this. She’s brilliant at assuming a voice and an identity. For a woman who’s mastered the art of manipulation, how difficult could it be to tempt a killer into a trap? But who is the decoy...and who is the prey? Read by Sally Scott, with Matt Reeves, Lorelei King, John Chancer, and Eric Meyers.

La fille d'avant
Summary
Après un drame éprouvant, Jane cherche à tourner la page. Lorsqu'elle découvre le One Folgate Street, elle est conquise par cette maison ultra moderne, chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture minimaliste, parfaite. Mais pour y vivre, il faut se plier aux règles draconiennes imposées par son architecte, Edward Monkford, aussi mystérieux que séduisant. Parmi celles-ci : répondre régulièrement à des questionnaires déconcertants et intrusifs. Peu à peu, Jane acquiert une inquiétante certitude : la maison est pensée pour transformer celui qui y vit. Or elle apprend bientôt qu'Emma, la locataire qui l'a précédée et qui lui ressemble étrangement, y a trouvé une fin tragique. Alors qu'elle tente de démêler le vrai du faux, Jane s'engage sur la même pente, fait les mêmes choix, croise les mêmes personnes... et vit dans la même terreur que la fille d'avant.
