A remarkable debut' SUNDAY TIMES 'One of the best books you'll read this year' SHARI LAPENA 'Keeps you guessing until the end' 5***** Reader Review _______ Sometimes, the true story is the hardest to believe. TONY has always looked out for his younger brother, Nick. So when Nick is badly hurt and it looks like he was the victim of sexual assault, Tony's anger flares. JULIA is alarmed by her husband Tony's obsession with Nick's case. She's always known Tony has a temper. But does she really know what he's capable of? NICK went out for a drink. After that, everything's a blank. When he woke up he found himself in a world of confusion and pain, and the man who hurt him doesn't deny doing it. But he says the whole thing was consensual. Three ordinary people; one life-shattering event. And when the police get involved, this family in crisis might be capable of anything . . .
