Charlie, Presumed Dead
ByPublisher Description
In Paris, family and friends gather to mourn the tragic passing of Charlie Price—young, handsome, charming, a world-traveler—who is presumed dead after an explosion. Authorities find only a bloodied jacket, ID’d as Charlie’s. At the funeral, two teens who are perfect strangers, Lena Whitney and Aubrey Boroughs, make another shocking discovery: they have both been dating Charlie, both think Charlie loved them and them alone, and there is a lot they didn’t know about their boyfriend. Over the next week, a mind-bending trip unfolds: first in London—then in Mumbai, Kerala, and Bangkok, the girls go in search of Charlie. Is he still alive? What did their love for him even mean? The truth is out there, but soon it becomes clear that the girls are harboring secrets of their own.
No one knows whom to trust in this thrilling tale of suspense and deception.
Two girls, one dead boyfriend, and a conspiracy that will make them question everything they thought they knew.
- Two Unlikely Allies: Lena and Aubrey thought they were rivals for Charlie’s affection. Now, they’re the only ones they can trust on a dangerous search for the truth.
- A Web of Lies: The more they dig into Charlie’s past, the more they realize their charming, world-traveling boyfriend may have been a complete stranger.
- An International Hunt: From the streets of Paris and London to the bustling markets of Mumbai and Bangkok, their search for answers becomes a desperate race against time.
- A Twist-Filled Plot: Just when they think they know who to trust, a new revelation proves that everyone—including each other—has something to hide.
