You'll Never Forget Me

In this captivating cat-and-mouse thriller, a struggling actress is only just beginning to enjoy the life sheʼs always wanted after inadvertently killing her rival--but now she must contend with the woman who threatens to take it all away.

Struggling actress Dimple Kapoor wouldn't call herself a murderer, per se--she'd prefer the term "opportunist." Years ago, she did what had to be done to get herself out of a bad situation. And now, after accidentally killing her Hollywood rival, Irene Singh, at a party, she's simply seizing the chance to nab her dream leading role and resuscitate her career in the process. Thereʼs only one problem: Someone else at the event witnessed the crime . . . and caught it all on camera.

With everything she's ever wanted within reach, Dimple will stop at nothing to keep stardom in her grasp. But Irene's parents have hired Saffi Mirai Iyer, one of the best private investigators in the business. Living up to her reputation, Saffi immediately zeroes in on Dimple, who feels she has no choice but to raise the stakes. Playing along with Dimple's facade, Saffi invites her on to the case, suggesting she act as bait to draw out the killer--and as the two women's cat-and-mouse game intensifies, Saffi starts to wonder if she may have finally met her match.

With their careers at risk, both women must fight the potent chemistry drawing them closer together. Dimple needs Saffi dead and for her theories to die with her. And Saffi needs Dimple behind bars, but catching her elusive prey won't be so easy--especially as emotions begin to cloud her judgment. When ambition and desire collide, only the most cunning will survive.
