If They Knew: A Thriller

Summary

A thrilling debut from A. J. Wooding, If They Knew is a dream vacation … gone terribly, terribly wrong.

When Theo Parrish’s father dies, he inherits more than grief—he inherits Parrish Cruise Lines, the ambitious start-up company his father spent years building from the ground up. Since his twin brother, Tyler, has no interest in the business, sole responsibility falls on Theo’s shoulders.
