The most addictive, deliciously dark and redemptive psychological
thriller you've been waiting for in 2021 - for fans of Lisa Jewell,
Louise Jensen, Phoebe Morgan, CL Taylor, Cara Hunter and KL
Slater... ************** Blue grew up in the Black House. In
remotest Wales, Joseph Carillo recruited young, lonely women to
join his community and adopt his erratic views. Blue's mother was
one of them. But when the Black House goes up in flames, Blue
escapes to freedom and never stops running. Twenty years later,
when Blue's old dormmate commits suicide, Blue receives a strange
call. She has been awarded sole custody of Natasha's daughter. But
things don't add up. The girls haven't spoken since the night of
the fire. As Blue begins to dig into Natasha's life, her suspicions
take her all the way back to that fateful night...But will the
truth help Blue to face her past, or will it put everyone she holds
close in danger? ************** Praise for NJ MACKAY: 'Dark,
gripping, unexpected. Insanely good - like, Dark Places good' ELLE
CROFT 'Brilliantly plotted, tense and atmospheric' RACHAEL BLOK

conclusion. Psychological suspense at its best' VICTORIA SELMAN
'Clever, unexpected, brilliantly plotted; I literally could not put
it down' CLARE EMPSON
To his followers, L Ron Hubbard was a war hero and spiritual leader
who served his country with distinction in World War II, suffering
terrible injuries in the line of duty before miraculously healing
himself with his revolutionary mental techniques - Dianetics and
Scientology. RON THE WAR HERO examines the truth behind the legend
and asks some awkward questions. What if there were no injuries?
What if Hubbard was not, in fact, a war hero at all? What if his
time in the military was marked not by bravery but by incompetence?
By hubris rather than heroism? As Scientology's own spokesman has
admitted, it would mean that Scientology is based on a lie. It
would mean that Hubbard's supposed recovery never happened and that
his claims about the foundations of Scientology are fraudulent.
Drawing on previously unpublished documents and US government
records, RON THE WAR HERO is a forensic and devastating portrait of
the deceit at the heart of Scientology - a lie that has ruined so
many lives, and persists to this day.
