From America's most beloved superstar and #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson comes a thriller about a young singer-songwriter on the rise--and on the run--and determined to do whatever it takes to survive.

Ruthanna may have retired--for deeply personal reasons--but that doesn't mean she's stopped writing music. Every day, she records songs she'll never release. When Ruthanna hears AnnieLee sing, the legend decides to help the ingenue.

But a boost from a mega-star like Ruthanna may spotlight the talented newcomer's secret. Now AnnieLee may not live long enough to realize her dreams of stardom--or for the world to learn her true identity.
