One of The TELEGRAPH'S CRIME BOOKS OF THE YEAR. 'Startlingly original, grabs from the very first sentence, utterly compelling throughout' Daily Mail In London a young man stands accused of murder. All the evidence points to him; the police see an open and shut case. But at his trial, this man, who has tried to stay out of trouble all his life, tells an extraordinary story. It is about a young woman who tried to protect her brother and got into terrible trouble. It's about a young man who, in order to save her, entered a dark, violent world he'd avoided for so long. He now stands in the dock and wants to tell you the truth. He needs you to believe him. Will you? 'Superb character-driven fiction. Masterful' Guardian 'Exciting, highly original, cleverly plotted and convincingly written' Literary Review 'Impressively original' The Times
