DON'T MISS THIS GRIPPING AND SHOCKING DEBUT
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. When the police get involved with this family in crisis, all the cracks will start to show...
Set to ignite debate and as gripping as your favourite box-set, Damage is a compulsive drama from an extraordinary new writer.

Critics Review
-
Pulled me in from the first page with smart narration, characters I cared about, a hold-your-breath plot, and a terrific final twist. Put this one high on your summer list
Stephen King -
A complex, suspenseful story about the shocking and unexpected consequences of a sexual assault . . . a brilliant debut. One of the best books you’ll read this year
Shari Lapena, Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author -
A magnificent debut to rival the very best of Dennis Lehane, The Damage scores knockout thriller punches chapter after chapter. It’s dense and exciting, as though Michael Connelly and Tana French had joined forces. A spectacularly plotted and powerful family drama
A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window -
A brilliantly-observed novel about how a terrible crime can ignite the first match in a whole row. Twist after twist – but also a damning and humane exploration of family, brotherhood and upbringing. To say I loved it is a wild understatement
Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times bestselling author -
The whodunnit tipped to be this summer’s must-read
Daily Mail -
Sensational. This is ‘catch in the throat’ storytelling that Wahrer makes look disarmingly easy and it leads to not one but two startling final twists. Unputdownable
