She was sent to love him. He was recruited to betray her. Neither of them knows the truth about the other. Both of them are running out of time. Claire and Ryan Maddox are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary at Niagara Falls. On the surface, they're the couple everyone envies. The Instagram photo on the balcony. The champagne at sunset. The easy banter of two people who still make each other laugh after six years. They finish each other's sentences. They fight about toast. They hold hands like they mean it. But Claire is not who she says she is. And Ryan is carrying something in his belt that could put him in prison for twenty years. Over the course of one weekend, seventy-two hours of room service and secrets, of midnight walks and encrypted messages, of a woman watching from the lobby who knows more than either of them, a marriage built on the best intentions and the worst deceptions begins to come apart. Every conversation is a negotiation. Every kiss is a calculation. Every "I love you" is both completely true and fundamentally dishonest, and the distance between those two things is the distance between the railing and the gorge. As the clock ticks toward a handoff that will change everything, Claire and Ryan circle each other in the most dangerous game two people can play: telling the truth inside a lie, and hoping the lie holds long enough for the truth to matter. It won't. Because someone else is watching. Someone who has been watching for eleven months. Someone who holds, in one manila folder, the power to destroy them both. Or save them. And the price of salvation is a secret bigger than either of theirs. A secret that goes all the way to the top. LAST NIGHT IN NIAGARA is a heart-pounding psychological thriller about a marriage with two liars, a weekend with no good options, and a waterfall that doesn't care about any of it. It's a love story disguised as a spy novel. A spy novel disguised as a love story. And by the last page, you won't be able to tell the difference. Because neither can they. For fans of THE AMERICANS, GONE GIRL, and anyone who has ever looked at their partner across a hotel bed and wondered what they weren't saying.
