Better The Devil cover

The Reappearance of Rachel Price meets They Both Die at the End in this gripping, contemporary queer thriller filled with stolen identity, first love and murder, from the bestselling author of All That's Left in the World.

"Nathaniel," I say. "Beaumont."
"Holy shit," she says under her breath.
Holy shit indeed.

Desperate to escape parents who will never accept him, a sixteen-year-old runaway steals the identity of a missing boy.

When Nathaniel Beaumont's family come to take him home, 'Nate' is caught in a web of lies. Then he meets Miles - the cute, clever and true crime obsessed boy next door - and his cover is blown. But Miles will help 'Nate' escape if he can uncover the truth of what happened to his childhood friend.

The main suspects? Nathaniel's parents.

As 'Nate' and Miles' investigation turns dangerous and their feelings turn real, time is running out to discover who killed Nathaniel Beaumont . . . before they finish the job.
