The Suspect

Description

Fiona Barton shows why she is a breakout star in the crime thriller genre with this story of a journalist's race to discover the truth about the disappearance of two teenagers on their gap year—but also about her own family . . .

What if it was someone you knew?

'Utterly engrossing . . . I lived inside this book for two days—and I'm still thinking about it. Superb!' - Shari Lapena, bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

'Intelligent, insightful and compelling. A clever, twisting whodunnit that delivers an emotional punch. I loved it.' - C L Taylor

The police belonged to another world—the world they saw on the television or in the papers. Not theirs.

When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing on their gap year in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight—desperate, bereft, and frantic with worry.

Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth—and this time is no exception. But she can't help but think of her own son, whom she hasn't seen in two years since he left home to go travelling. This time it's personal.

And as the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think . . .

What authors are saying:

'Perfectly pitched . . . will have you racing to the denouement.' - Cara Hunter, bestselling author of Close to Home and In the Dark

'A fast-paced whodunnit with heart, characters I feel I know and a deliciously dark twist. Superb writing, often blackly funny, and a scene that made me cry into my pillow.' - Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times bestselling author of Everything But the Truth

'Fiona Barton is perceptive, empathetic and a talented writer' - Daily Express

About the Author

Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, and has been published in thirty-seven countries and optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, and her third, The Suspect, were both bestsellers. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives on the south coast in West Sussex. Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday, where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards. While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile criminal cases and developed a fascination with watching those involved, their body language and verbal tics. She interviewed people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their families, as well as those on the periphery, and found it was those just outside the spotlight who interested her most...
