What this book is about

Told in reverse chronology, Genuine Fraud follows Jule Williams as her story unravels backward — from a hotel in Mexico to a friendship in New York that changed everything. Lockhart's thriller is a portrait of identity theft, obsession, and how far someone will go to become someone else. Deliberately slippery and unsettling.
