About this Event
Join us for an evening with Joseph Knox who is the acclaimed author of True Crime Story. We will be discussing his latest thriller Imposter Sydrome. The evening will be made up of an author talk, Q&A, followed by a book signing.
Imposter Syndrome is about an out-of-luck con artist gets the gig of a lifetime, as a wealthy family hires him to impersonate their dead son in this ingenious, page-turning thriller from the author of True Crime Story.
Lynch, a burned out con-artist, arrives, broke, in London, trying not to dwell on the mistakes that got him there. When he bumps into Bobbie, a rehab-bound heiress - and when she briefly mistakes him for her missing brother - Lynch senses the opportunity, as well as the danger…
Bobbie’s brother, Heydon, was a troubled young man. Five years ago, he walked out of the family home and never went back. His car was found parked on a bridge overlooking the Thames, in the early hours of the same morning. Unsettled by Bobbie’s story, and suffering from a rare attack of conscience, Lynch tries to back off.
But when Bobbie leaves for rehab the following day, he finds himself drawn to her luxurious family home, and into a meeting with her mother, the formidable Miranda. Seeing the same resemblance that her daughter did, Miranda proposes she hire Lynch to assume her son’s identity, in a last-ditch effort to try and flush out his killer.
As Lynch begins to impersonate him, dark forces are lured out of the shadows, and he realises too late that Heydon wasn’t paranoid at all. Someone was watching his every move, and they’ll K*ll to keep it a secret.
For the first time, Lynch is in a life or death situation he can’t lie his way out of.
