'There's no better storyteller in the thriller game than Pomare' HERALD SUN 'Shocking, twisty and impossible to put down' CHRISTIAN WHITE 'Pomare's gift for complex plots and drum-tight tension shines' BENJAMIN STEVENSON 'A raging river of twists and turns' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN 'Flawlessly plotted . . . breathless suspense' ANNA DOWNES The violent slaughter of the Primrose family while they slept shocked the nation. The family's young live-in chef, Bill Kareama, was swiftly charged with murder and brought to justice. But the brutal crime scarred the idyllic town of Cambridge forever. Seventeen years later, true-crime podcaster Sloane Abbott tracks down prison psychologist TK Phillips. Once a fierce campaigner for an appeal, TK now lives a quiet life with Bill's case firmly in his past. As Sloane lures a reluctant TK back into the fight, evidence emerges that casts new light on the Primroses - and who might have wanted them dead. While the list of suspects grows, Bill's innocence is still far from assured. What will it cost Sloane and TK to uncover the truth? 'I love Pomare's sense of place and his unremittingly darkling imagination' THE AUSTRALIAN 'A plot well worthy of a Ngaio Marsh mystery' SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 'Pomare builds a cocktail of lies and unexpected turns of events that remain a mystery until the hectic climax' COURIER MAIL 'A politically charged story that delves into social media and the failings of the justice system . . . [Pomare's] twistiest yet' SUN-HERALD
