'Stunning: so clever, so gripping, so timely' LUCY FOLEY
Daughter. Friend. Lover. Murderer. But which is the true face of Katie Cole?
When four wealthy and influential members of London’s most exclusive private club are poisoned, a young waitress is charged with their murder after being caught running from the scene of the crime. As the trial grips the nation, five men begin to question how well they really knew her.
There's her father, who remembers the sweet girl growing up in Devon; her childhood friend, who is swept up in her fascination with conspiracy theories; her lover, who wants to distance himself from a young woman with an obsession; her barrister, who knows she's hiding something; and the journalist investigating the case, who is convinced he knows exactly who she is: a cold-blooded killer.
Five men. Five stories. But are they ready to hear hers?
A taut, psychological suspense about privilege, passion, and how women’s voices can be sidelined and silenced by society, this is a timely, timeless and daring novel that will leave you asking: who can you ever really believe?
