THE UNFORGETTABLE LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE LEGENDARY LYNDA LA PLANTE
Identical and brutal assaults on three women. One woman survives to give a detailed description of her attacker.
The police arrest a suspect, Damon Morton, confident he is their man. But three of his employees admit to the crimes, and Morton's wife and girlfriend each provide him with an alibi.
They all declare Damon Morton innocent. The police know he did it. But if people lie under oath in a court of law - who can the jury believe?

KARIN SLAUGHTER
THE ACCLAIMED LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE QUEEN OF CRIME DRAMA
Young Cassie Booth goes missing on her paper round. Then her bloodstained jacket is found in a boathouse belonging to Karl Wilding - but there is little evidence against him.
Meanwhile, a routine visit by Detective Inspector Pat North to appease persistent complainer Stephen Warrington soon spirals into something far more sinister. As his behaviour becomes increasingly obsessive, North suspects that Warrington has been involved in a far more horrific crime.
Only one of the men is guilty of Cassie's murder. But can the jury unravel the complex web of lies and deliver justice?
