About this ebook
'Denise Mina is crime-writing royalty' IAN RANKIN
How many lives must your lie destroy before you blow up your own life and reveal the truth?
A year ago, a father and his fiancée were brutally stabbed in their opulent London townhouse, sparking the most high-profile murder investigation in recent history. Blood spatter expert Doctor Claudia O’Sheil’s evidence put the killer behind bars—or so everyone believes. But since the trial, Claudia’s learned a horrific truth. Her evidence and her testimony were wrong. And someone she knows made sure of it.
Now, as she takes the stage before the elite of London to give a career-defining speech, Claudia faces a devastating choice. Protect her children and her livelihood with her continued complicity, or blow the whole conspiracy apart and reveal the truth: not only is the real murderer still out there, but they’re in the audience.
From The New York Times bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author, Denise Mina, comes a taut, intelligent thriller about power, class, and the lengths we're willing to go for family.
