The Close- UP - Pip Drysdale

Get ready for a pulse-pounding ride with The Close Up by Pip Drysdale, a darkly glamorous thriller that blurs the line between dreams and nightmares.

Zoe Ann Weiss’s life is spiraling: a failed debut novel, mounting debt, and a creative block that threatens her career. Enter Zach Hamilton—an old flame turned Hollywood heartthrob. Reignited passion sparks her inspiration, and suddenly Zoe is writing again. But fame isn’t all glitz and glamour. As her name becomes entangled with Zach’s, a dangerous stalker starts re-enacting scenes from her first novel, casting Zoe in the lead role—this time as the victim.

Packed with twists, intrigue, and Pip Drysdale’s signature flair, The Close Up is for fans of seductive thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last page.
