YOU CAN’T CATCH ME
By Catherine McKenzie

Twelve years ago, Jessica Williams escaped
a cult. Thanks to the private detective who
rescued her, she reintegrated into society,
endured an uncomfortable notoriety, and
tried to put it all behind her. Then, at an
airport bar, Jessica meets a woman with an
identical name and birth date. It appears to
be just an odd coincidence—until a week
later, when Jessica finds her bank account
drained and her personal information stolen.
Following a trail of the grifter’s victims,
each with the same name, Jessica gathers
players—one by one—for her own game.
According to her plan, they’ll set a trap and
wait for the impostor to strike again. But
plans can go awry, and trust can fray, and
as Jessica tries to escape the shadows of
her childhood, the risks are greater than she
imagined.
