THE NEXT GRIPPING, EMOTIONAL AND TWISTY PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM LIA MIDDLETON, AUTHOR OF WHEN THEY FIND HER
When fifteen-year-old Anabelle King was assaulted on her way home, she thought she had done everything right. But a vital piece of evidence meant that the jury let her attacker go.
Eighteen years later, Anabelle King is now Ava Knight, a successful barrister who always follows the rules. But that all changes when, one day at court, she reads a familiar name in the file: Michael Osborne. But this time he is the victim of an attack, and in the dock is a young girl: Lily Hawthorne, who pleads guilty without hesitation.
Ava is sure that Lily's plea is not the truth. She knows this man is not innocent. But as she gets more entangled in the case, how much will she have to risk to uncover the truth?
