The Distance

In "The Distance," a gripping debut thriller, Charlotte Alton is not just a polished London socialite; she secretly operates as Karla, a ghost in the criminal underworld who erases people's histories for a price. When Simon Johanssen, a former special forces sniper turned hitman, reappears with a perilous job—to eliminate an elusive inmate within a high-security prison—Karla is drawn back into a dangerous game. As she navigates a web of deceit, uncovering the truth about her mysterious target and confronting hidden threats, she must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the man she feels inexplicably tied to. With each character playing a double role, the story unfolds with stylish prose and relentless tension.
