AUGUST DISCOVERY CLUB SELECTION and CLAIR'S FAVORITE

Cassie Maddox, the partner of the main character of French's Edgar winner IN THE WOODS, agrees to go undercover to investigate the murder of a young woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to her. Even stranger, the victim had stolen the identity of an undercover alias Cassie had used years before. The prime suspects are the victim's housemates, graduate students who have formed a tightly knit surrogate family; Cassie not only convinces them of her new identity, but begins to embrace it herself. Deeply emotional, harrowing and sad, THE LIKENESS confirms Tana French as a major new talent in crime fiction.
