From the acclaimed author of The Last Thing to Burn comes a psychological thriller about the dark secrets that emerge when a woman’s twin sister is murdered, with his signature prose.
Sisters. Soulmates. Strangers.
Molly Raven lives a quiet, structured life in London, finding comfort in security and routine. Her identical twin Katie, living in New York, is the exact opposite: outgoing, spontaneous, and adventurous.
But when Molly hears that Katie has died, possibly murdered, she is thrown into unfamiliar territory. As terrifying as it is, she knows she must travel across the ocean and find out what happened. But as she tracks her twin’s final movements, cracks begin to emerge, and she slowly realizes her sister was not who she thought she was and that there is a dangerous web of deceit surrounding the two of them.

“A deceptively simple premise…evolves into a story that grows twisted and more twisted with each new chapter. I devoured First Born in a day and finished it with my mouth wide open, in shock at what Will Dean masterfully accomplished.”
— Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot
“Highly accomplished, dark, and dazzling. First Born twists and deceives and cements Will Dean’s status as a truly rare talent. Pure brilliance.”

Will Dean grew up in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom and lived in nine villages before the age of eighteen. After studying law at the London School of Economics and working in London, he settled in rural Sweden where he built a wooden house in a boggy clearing at the center of a vast elk forest, and it’s from this base that he compulsively reads and writes. His debut novel, Dark Pines, was selected for Zoe Ball’s book club on ITV, shortlisted for the National Book Awards (UK), The Guardian’s Not the Booker prize, and was named a Telegraph book of the year.
