What will it take to tell the truth when your life depends on a lie?
A year ago, a father and his fiancée were brutally stabbed in their
opulent 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. 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 to give a career-defining speech before
London’s elite, 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, they’re in the audience.
As Claudia steps toward the microphone, she revisits that fateful
night. What really happened? And what speech will Claudia give?
'Unputdownable...a high-octane, emotional page-turner.' Bestselling
author Louise Douglas.'A must read- highly original, impossible to
put down, tense, dark, absolutely riveting.' Mary Grand'Suspense at
its best, set against the stunning backdrop of Holy Island. I loved
it!' Amanda James'A well plotted thriller that is dark and
deliciously twisted!' Keri Beevis 'A chillingly vivid thriller that
keeps you hooked to the very end. Unputdownable!' Carol Wyer Does a
killer's blood run in the family?Lexi Jakes thought she could run
from her past...she was wrong. Because when her biological mother
is found dead, with all the same hallmarks of her own serial killer
father, Lexi knows someone is out for revenge, and that she and her
small daughter, Isla, could be next. Determined to protect Isla,
Lexi travels back to Lindisfarne, the small remote island where she
grew up. There, cut off from the mainland, Lexi hopes they'll both
be safe. But as the tide comes in and the causeway slowly closes,
Lexi's greatest fear comes true: now they are trapped with no way
out. Lexi will do anything to save her daughter...she is the serial
killer's girl after all.
As richly complex and brutal as the terrain it depicts, here is
the mesmerizing, darkly original novel that heralded the arrival of
Dennis Lehane, the master of the new noir--and introduced Patrick
Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, his smart and tough private
investigators weaned on the blue-collar streets of Dorchester.
A cabal of powerful Boston politicians is willing to pay Kenzie
and Gennaro big money for a seemingly small job: to find a missing
cleaning woman who stole some secret documents. As Kenzie and
Gennaro learn, however, this crime is no ordinary theft. It's about
justice, about right and wrong. But in Boston, finding the truth
isn't just a dirty business . . . it's deadly.
