FALSE FOREWORD A Psychological Thriller of Betrayal and Deception By Douglas A. Gosselin What if your best friend was your deadliest enemy? Emma Carter, a respected book reviewer, wakes up to the nightmare of her husband's murder-and all signs point to her. The murder weapon is found in her home. The security footage has been doctored. Her online search history screams guilt. And worst of all, she can't explain any of it. Everyone believes she did it. Except one person: her best friend, Claire Hastings. Supportive, devoted... and hiding a years-long vendetta. Claire's perfect betrayal is nearly complete-framing Emma for a crime she didn't commit, all while smiling from across the courtroom. But Emma is done playing the victim. With help from a few unlikely allies in the literary world-a cybersecurity expert, an FBI profiler, and a legal thriller author-Emma launches a chilling counterattack. One designed not just to prove her innocence, but to burn Claire's entire plan to the ground. As lies unravel and secrets surface, only one truth remains: In the end, the final draft is Emma's. For fans of Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and Defending Jacob, False Foreword delivers twist after twist in a pulse-pounding tale of psychological warfare, literary revenge, and a heroine who won't let someone else write her ending.
