Corinne explains that there is more to her deception than appears on the surface, and wants to meet Adam alone to discuss it. She never shows up for the meeting and seems to have disappeared.

More secrets are discovered to have been revealed or leveraged by The Stranger, threatening to not only ruin lives, but end them

The novel was made into a British television limited series of the same title that was released on Netflix in January 2020.
