How far would you go to find The One? One simple mouth swab is all it takes. A quick DNA test to find your perfect partner - the one you're genetically made for.
A decade after scientists discover everyone has a gene they share with just one other person, millions have taken the test, desperate to find true love. Now, five more people meet their Match.
But even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking - and deadlier - than others...
'Fantastic ... I can't remember the last time I was simultaneously this entertained and this disturbed. The One is a clever story with great pacing but it's the characters that make this a standout thriller.' - Hollie Overton, Sunday Times bestselling author of Baby Doll
'Wonderful conceit, ridiculously entertaining ... an absolute pleasure' - T. A Cotterell, author of What Alice Knew
'Gripping from the start and full of surprises, this kept us up long after lights out' - Heat
