The Body: The dead man was only the beginning

By Joseph Helsing

The first thing my wife said when we found the body was that we should call the police. I told her no.

Daniel and Rebecca have just moved into their dream home.

A fresh start. A new marriage. A life with nothing left to hide.

Until they find a dead man lying in their front room.

Rebecca wants to call the police.

Daniel refuses.

Because Daniel knows what happens when the police start asking questions. He knows how quickly an innocent person can become a suspect. And there are things about his past that he has never told his wife.

But the dead man wasn't supposed to be there.

He wasn't a stranger.

And someone wanted Daniel and Rebecca to find him.

As the couple struggle to hide the body, their carefully constructed marriage begins to unravel. Secrets surface. Lies multiply. And when another person dies, Daniel starts to wonder whether the greatest danger isn't the police discovering what they've done...

It's his wife.

Because Rebecca has secrets of her own.

And some marriages are built on love.

Others are built on lies.

How well do you really know the person sleeping beside you?

THE BODY is a twist-filled psychological thriller about marriage, murder, secrets and the terrifying consequences of trusting the wrong person.
