Late one night, Kate is woken by her husband Paul, drunk, covered in blood, and mumbling that he’s killed something – or someone.
Afterwards, Paul denies he ever said what he did. But when an attractive young woman who works for him is found murdered, Kate’s terrible suspicions about what her husband has really done send her on a desperate search for the truth.
Although as the lies multiply, and Kate’s carefully constructed life comes under threat, doing the right thing is not as straightforward as it seems . . .

Reviews
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight were all choosen as Independent Books of the Year 2011. 'Knight's knack with plot ensures that everything rattles along nicely in Nicci French territory.'
A really enjoyable read.
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish . . . pacey and disquieting
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****
A fast-paced whodunit.
Knight's promising debut . . . crackles from first page to last . . . She could be very good indeed.
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
A tightly constructed, suspenseful thriller that will have you turning pages and keep you guessing all the way to the dramatic conclusion.
'A crackling, energetic read, full of action'
